History and culture

Aerial view: Győr

The county in its current extent is a result of the loss of territory to Hungary through the Treaty of Trianon in 1920 . In 1923, the remnants of the Győr , Moson and Pozsony counties that remained with Hungary became the Győr, Moson és Pozsony county , which was renamed Győr-Moson in 1945 . In 1950 Sopron County , which had also been greatly reduced in size since 1920, was added. The area was now called Győr-Sopron ; on October 1, 1990, it was finally given the name it is today.

The country is part of the Little Hungarian Plain and has a steppe character . The most important river is the Raab ( Hungarian Rába ), which flows into the Danube at Győr . Near Sopron, where the land protrudes like a corner into Austria, it has a share in Lake Neusiedl . South of Lake Neusiedl is the Hanság ( German  Waasen or Wasen ), a wetland with numerous rare bird species. A part of the natural landscape of the county is under protection (4 areas, over 400 km²). The Fertő-Hanság National Park ( Neusiedler See National Park ) covers 19,735 hectares. It borders on the part of Austria of the same name and is operated jointly.

The old traffic routes and a dense railway network run in the river valleys. The long-distance section Hegyeshalom - Budapest was expanded for a maximum speed of 160 km / h.

Another important sight is the Esterházy Palace in Fertőd .
