The lighthouse Podersdorf at the main pier, located exactly in the middle of the seaside resort, was built as a point of orientation and for storm warnings for water sports enthusiasts in the course of the redesign of the 2 km long lido. It is one of the few lighthouses in the Republic of Austria and at the same time one of the southernmost lighthouses in the entire German-speaking area.
It has a height of about twelve meters, which is sufficient to allow it to be recognized from afar in the flat landscape of the Neusiedler Basin. The tower was built from metal segments and painted red and white. Unfortunately, the tower can only be viewed from the outside. The jetty can get quite crowded on warm summer days.
Tip for photographers: it is best to take photos in the morning, as the tower is then illuminated from the front. In the afternoon you have backlight.
