Few towns in Transdanubia have a history as closely tied to rail links around Lake Fertő as Fertőszentmiklós. On the flat Kisalföld plain, south of the lake known in Austria as Neusiedler See, it lies between Sopron and Győr near the Austrian border. Lake Fertő and its reed beds form part of Fertő–Hanság National Park, while the broader cross-border Fertő/Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fertőszentmiklós also has an airfield, adding another transport connection to this agricultural part of western Hungary. Its name refers to Saint Nicholas, the town’s traditional patron.
