More information about the video content bellow:
1. Burgenland is the easternmost and least populous state or Bundesländer of Austria.

2. The name Burgenland means "castle land" due to the large number of castles in the region. The territory of present-day Burgenland was successively part of the Roman Empire, the Hun Empire, the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths, the Italian Kingdom of Odoacer, the Kingdom of the Lombards, the Avar Khaganate, the Frankish Empire, Dominion Aba belonging to the Aba (family); Aba - Koszegi, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Habsburg Monarchy, the Austrian Empire, Austria-Hungary, Austria.

3. The state capital is Eisenstadt.

4. Burgenland and Hungary share the Neusiedler See (Hungarian: Fertő tó), a lake known for its reeds and shallowness, as well as its mild climate throughout the year. The Neusiedler See is Austria's largest lake, and is a great tourist attraction, bringing ornithologists, sailors, and wind and kite surfers into the region north of the lake.

5. The area once belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary, which was obliged in the Treaty of Trianon in 1920 to cede what was then German West Hungary to the new Republic of Austria.

6. Burgenland is a European pioneer in the field of wind energy. In 2000 around three percent of the electricity produced in the country came from wind turbines, in 2011 it was already half. In 2013, the country was self-sufficient because more than 100 percent of the electricity used in the country was generated from renewable energies. Several large wind farms were also built: The Andau / Halbturn wind farm, for example, has 79 Enercon E-101 wind turbines and an installed capacity of 237 MW. When it was completed, it was the largest wind farm in Central Europe.

7. The tourist numbers in Burgenland have improved continuously over the past few years. However, in terms of the number of overnight stays, it cannot keep up with the tourist strongholds in western Austria. In the absence of ski areas, there is hardly any winter tourism.
