Before you swim in Burgenland

Federal health ministry with the provinces and AGES

Bathing season in Austria: 15 June – 31 August. AGES publishes per-province maps and a bathing-water app on behalf of the ministry.

Annual EEA classes do not show temporary bans, short-term pollution or algae alerts. National information last checked 2026-11-01.

Season status: Today (6 November 2026) is outside the official bathing season (15 June – 31 August). Official monitoring is tied to the season (a first sample may be taken shortly before it opens), so there are no current official water-quality results now. The next season starts on 15 June 2027.

Outlines are simplified, so a few shoreline dots can sit just offshore.
