The municipality can look forward to a huge influx of bathers this season. 

Lake Neufeld is a magnet for water lovers from near and far every summer. The bathing paradise attracts visitors with clear water, clean beaches and plenty of parking spaces. Events are also held on the grounds, which attract additional guests. However, this year's season brought the lake a new visitor record. Exactly 149,542 guests were counted - a huge increase of over 32,000 visitors compared to the previous year. The reason for this was the high temperatures this summer.

Guests from Lower Austria and Vienna
Many are happy to accept a longer journey from Vienna or Lower Austria. But the lido is also very popular with the people of Neufeld themselves. "The lido with its slides and the new playground is particularly popular with families," emphasize Mayor Michael Lampel, Head of Lake Operations Daniela Stoll and Municipal Treasurer Berend Tusch.

New evening menu goes down well
The new evening menu for the local population, which was issued for the first time this year, was also very well received. With this ticket, Neufelder were able to access the lake area for free in the evening for a small deposit and swim, meet friends or relax after work. "We are delighted with this record attendance. It is important to us that the lake is not only there for our many guests, but also for the local population, and we have succeeded in doing this," says Mayor Lampel.
