Trail description:
At 1,700 m above sea level, visitors will walk into the valley past 10 stations and interactive displays. Here, climate change in the Hohe Tauern National Park is explained alongside the facts about today's fossil fuel consumption, the problem of the greenhouse effect, how the possible alternatives can be applied regionally and locally and how each person can contribute towards climate protection.
The interactive displays provide concrete facts – how do hydro-power, solar energy, photovoltaics, hydrogen and biogas plants work? These and other questions about renewable forms of energy are presented in an exciting but easy-to-understand format.
Visitors to the "Energy trail" are accompanied along the path by an audio guide available from Postalm and can access information at each station.
The Obersulzbachtal (Obersulzbach valley) provides the ideal way for those who are interested to experience the effects of climate change in the Alps up close and to continue walking into the valley along the Obersulzbachtal glacier trail with different stations documenting the retreat of glaciers in the Hohe Tauern.
