Events in the Burgenland region

Get in tune with the Pannonian rhythm and the history of Moerbisch

As a guest at the 4-star hotel Das Schmidt, you can spend your holiday right at the heart of the Moerbisch holiday resort. At first glance, you cannot fail to be impressed by the legendary Moerbisch lake stage. And at second glance, you will see plenty of sights which all have interesting stories to tell!

The Moerbisch lake stage rises up from Lake Neusiedl and is host to performances which can only be described as ‘magnificent’, according to director Harald Serafin. Each year, the stage attracts many visitors. In addition to its impressive performances, lively evenings and unique flair, visitors to these events in the Burgenland are particularly impressed by the Pannonian rhythm.

The Pannonian rhythm and the history of the community of Moerbisch

The area was first settled in around 5,000 BC: tools from the Palaeolithic and Neolithic, crouched burials from the Bronze Age, wine vessels from Celtic times and the remains of Roman structures bear testament to the region’s centuries of history. The magical alleyways of Moerbisch, decorated with flowers, have formed part of the UNESCOWorld Heritage Site since 2001 and invite guests to enjoy a comfortable stroll here. Once a year, Moerbisch turns its full attention to wine while the lively Vine Blossom Festival takes place in the alleyways. The 3-day festival is a popular event in the Burgenland and a must for wine lovers!
