Gesäuse National Park
Steep, wild, unique - the Gesäuse not only trumps with breathtaking views and raging streams, but also flora and fauna offer uniqueness in many respects. Like the spikes of a crown, the peaks of the Hochtor chain tower above this wonder of nature, the Gesäuse. There are around 200 endemics here, plants and insects that exist exclusively in this microcosm. A wonder of nature that should be marveled at and protected in equal measure, in October 2002 the Gesäuse was declared a national park.

This is my home
Between Admont and Hieflau, where the Enns River impetuously pursues its course, stretches the only national park in Styria. Guarded by the rocky giants - the Hochtor group and the Buchstein massif.
Quick & Short
Gesäuse national Park
12,000 hectares or 0.7% of the area of the province of Styria are national park and belong to the most beautiful things Styria has to offer. Along the untamed waters of the Enns River is one of the last breeding grounds for sandpipers. The wild forests are left to their own devices and endemic rarities such as the ornamental feathered carnation grow on the fearsome rock giants.
In the Gesäuse National Park, resources such as the forest are not exploited and nature is left to its own devices. Therefore, a special biodiversity survives here and develops freely. Such landscapes have become rare and are therefore particularly valuable.
