Fertö / Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The World Heritage Site of Neusiedlersee (known as Fertö in Hungarian) is the largest closed lake in central Europe, fed and drained entirely by precipitation and evaporation. It's fascinating that the lake has completely dried up many times, though for unknown reasons. It's also beautiful wine country around the edges of the lake, both in Hungary and Austria.
Unfortunately, we couldn't find much information about the World Heritage site itself - no signs, no brochures at the tourist information etc. So it was quite difficult to learn about this site, unfortunately, despite its popularity for water sports.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. Hungary accepted the convention on July 15, 1985, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list.Sites in Hungary were first inscribed on the list at the 11th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Paris, France in 1987. At that session, two sites were added: Budapest, the Banks of the Danube with the district of Buda Castle and Hollókő. The names of these and other Hungarian sites were changed to their present names at the 27th session of the Committee in 2003. Sites were added one at a time in the years 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. As of July 2014, Hungary has 8 total sites inscribed on the list. Of these two sites are shared with other countries: Fertö / Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape with Austria; and the Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst with Slovakia. The latter is also the only natural site in Hungary.

Austria ratified the convention on December 18, 1992, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list.Sites in Austria were first inscribed on the list at the 20th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Mérida, Mexico in 1996. At that session, two sites were added: the Historic Centre of Salzburg, and the Palace and Gardens of Schönbrunn. Other sites were added each year until 2001 and again in 2011 and 2017.

SUMMARY
=======
The UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has designated 77 World Heritage Sites in nine countries (also called state parties) of Eastern Europe; defined here to mean the former Eastern Bloc countries not including the Baltic Countries (which are in Northern Europe) or former Yugoslavia and Albania (which are in Southern Europe) or the parts of Germany that once comprised East Germany (which are included in Western Europe): Russia, Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria. Only the European part of Russia is included here; the Asian part is included in Central Asia. Although they have territory in Eastern Europe, the uniquely positioned Caucasian countries of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan are not included here but in Western Asia, and Kazakhstan is included in Central Asia.Russia is home to the most inscribed sites with 17 sites, two of which are transborder properties. Seven sites are shared between several countries with some of them located partially in Northern or Western Europe: the Curonian Spit (Lithuania and Russia), Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst (Slovakia and Hungary), Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe (Germany, Slovakia, Ukraine, Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, and Spain), Belovezhskaya Pushcha / Białowieża Forest (Poland and Belarus), Fertö / Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape (Austria and Hungary), Muskauer Park / Park Mużakowski (Germany and Poland) and the Struve Geodetic Arc (ten countries in Northern and Eastern Europe). Moldova has only part of the Struve Geodetic Arc transborder site. The first sites from the region were inscribed in 1978, when Kraków's Historic Centre and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, both in Poland were chosen during the list's conception. Each year, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee may inscribe new sites on the list, or delist sites that no longer meet the criteria. Selection is based on ten criteria: six for cultural heritage (i–vi) and four for natural heritage (vii–x). Some sites, designated mixed sites, represent both cultural and natural heritage. In Eastern Europe, there are 69 cultural, 8 natural, and no mixed sites.The World Heritage Committee may also specify that a site is endangered, citing conditions which threaten the very characteristics for which a property was inscribed on the World Heritage List. None of the sites in Eastern Europe is currently listed as endangered; two sites, Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Srebarna Nature Reserve, have formerly been listed as endangered but lost this status subsequently; possible danger listing has been considered by UNESCO in a number of cases.
Pécs Kulturhauptstadt /UNESCO Weltkulturerbe /Frühchristliche Grabkammer
Im vierten Jahrhundert schuf die christliche Gemeinde südlich des heutigen Domplatzes Grabkammern. Vor allem wegen der beeindruckenden Wandmalereien mit biblischen Motiven nahm die UNESCO die Katakomben 2000 ins Weltkulturerbe auf. Nirgendwo außerhalb Italiens gibt es einen besser erhaltenen frühchristlichen Friedhof.
