Nationalpark Hohe Tauern


Finding out
more about
nature

How are climate and weather linked? What rare plants and animals live in the core zone of the national park? What strategies do wild animals use to protect themselves from the cold? Knowledge about the delicate balance in the habitats of Hohe Tauern is the best way to sensitise people to the protection of nature. Education, next to wildlife conservation, research and natural experience, is one of the most important responsibilities of the Hohe Tauern National Park. With skills, experience and commitment, we share our knowledge about the protected area, its peculiarities and the national park concept.
