Hohe Tauern National Park

Magic in rock and ice

Fascinating wilderness and unique high mountain landscape in the heart of the Alps

50 years after its creation, the Hohe Tauern National Park enjoys extraordinary popularity and can rightly be proud of the new visitor records it sets every year. More than eight hundred square kilometers of protected mountain landscape, spread over Tyrol, Salzburg and Carinthia, form a valuable treasure that must be explored with care. In times when the concept of "home" is being redefined, our awareness of the importance of the regions where we draw on nature's resources is also growing. In their book, Susanne Schaber and Herbert Raffalt follow the tracks of animals and plants, explore the geological and geographical peculiarities and discover the culture, traditions and ways of life in the valleys between mountain peaks, ridges and glaciers. The result is a multifaceted portrait of the largest national park in the Alps and an invitation to experience this special place in the heart of the Alps with all your senses.
