Pioneer of the tourist journalism

In his feuilletonistic " Sunday Booklet " with the subtitle: I come from the mountains! about the Burgenland he ordered the incurred at different times sketches geographically in such a way that the walker starts from Vienna and are therefore also considered its surrounding area. As a fourth feature we find the - created on June 19, 1864 - Sketch: At the Lake Neusiedl.

Nordmann was a child of his time, he was already railway traveler, was by stagecoach romance nothing more to find in the. He drove up to the Burgenland border by train to a stop before Bruck an der Leitha. From Wilfleinsdorf he went on foot, on the Leitha bridge to Kaisersteinbruch and the Leitha Mountains.

His thoughts affect the political tensions between the then so closely united countries that on either side of the Leitha not sound so threatening ...

The hike takes the time to introduce the viewer gradually into the landscape. ... At the peak of the sharp sloping ridge ... to my left were open quarries again and were clearly visible already to build the dressed ashlar. Before him, it was widely and up to the horizon like a heavy, gray yellow fog from the lowlands, sluggish and immobile. It was seen in the colors of his time ... Lake Neusiedl in the tavern of winds ...

The trip home was no longer hike, but a jogging wagon ride on a cart on which he badly shaken went to Bruck.
