Tourist use
The nature park management is the responsibility of the regional association Neusiedlersee - Leithagebirge. This association emerged from the Cherry Blossom Region Regional Association in 2000 and initiated the creation of the nature park as well as accompanying measures such as reducing the volume of traffic in the region, securing the cherry tree population by planting new trees, signposting themed and hiking trails, developing a nature tourism visitor program and upgrading the historical town centers with various infrastructure projects.
In addition to the 22-kilometer panorama hiking trail that connects all five municipalities of the nature park, there are local and sometimes cross-municipal hiking trails in the individual locations. The B10 cycle path, which goes around Lake Neusiedl, and the 44 kilometer long cycle path B12 (cherry blossom cycle path) lead through all five nature park communities.
