Hohe Tauern National Park

The biggest conservation area in the Alps ... a wild traditional landscape and cultural mountain farming landscape. The two guises of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Spanning 1856 km² it is by far the biggest nature conservation area in the Alps. The conservation area extends across vast Alpine traditional landscapes, taking in glaciers, rocky cliffs and expanses of lush grass - across alpine landscapes which have been carefully and painstakingly maintained for centuries. The Hohe Tauern National Park was set up in 1981 and it was the first National Park in Austria. In the years which followed the conservation area, which takes in three federal states - Carinthia, Salzburg and Tyrol - has become the biggest protected natural area in the Alps.
