At the edge of Lake Zicksee, towards the southwest, things become quieter. There are also plenty of benches for resting by the lake.

The thermal baths are easy to get to and we always feel very comfortable here. With the day pass we always get the combination ticket with breakfast, which is very good and plentiful. The complex is very well maintained and the staff very friendly. The relaxation area on the upper floor is also highly recommended with the additional amenities such as a bathrobe, double relaxation lounger and food. There is also a separate experience report for children. Ideal for couples and families.

The Basilica of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary is a baroque, Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the municipality of Frauenkirchen in the Neusiedl am See district in Burgenland. The pilgrimage church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary made the place a well-known place of pilgrimage as early as the 14th century. The frescoes that adorn both the side walls of the church and the vaults are particularly impressive. The three rosary mysteries and numerous saints of the Franciscan order are depicted on the north wall of the church. – Luca Antonio Columba created these works of art as a gifted fresco painter. The stucco work is by Petro Antonio Conti. They increase the effect of the frescoes and give the entire church interior something elegant. In typical baroque style - a painted wooden wall that simulates a mighty marble structure - the high altar fills the east side of the church interior. The center of the altar is the tabernacle with the Blessed Sacrament and the statue of grace “Mary on the Heath” from 1240. The statue of grace is flanked by the two Hungarian national saints Stefan and Ladislaus. In large letters on the high altar it is written in Latin: Refugium peccatorum - refuge of sinners. This may also be the secret for the many visitors to the basilica. Sinners big and small, saints big and small, everyone is welcome at Maria auf der Heide and feels a sense of security. The Frauenkirchen Basilica is open daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.!
