Destinations in the Almenland

Our jewels of nature

No, the nature preserve is not the opposite of a city park! The nature preserve is more: a unique habitat with impressive landscapes, useful for people and a good place for plants and animals.

The 125 contiguous alps in the Naturpark Almenland form Europe’s largest cultivated alpine region. It also features ravines, gorges and a number of different caves. The Raabklamm and the Kirchkogel near Pernegg are in fact Natura 2000 areas and therefore enjoy special protection.
