The Hohe Tauern National Park
Excursion to the majestic Alpine peaks
Without exaggeration, the Hohe Tauern National Park can be considered one of the most overwhelming landscapes in the world. It extends into the provinces of Salzburg, the Tyrol and Carinthia and is of great significance for the Oberpinzgau region. Indeed, it is the natural landmark of the region. Its huge variety of species inhabits many different altitudes, from the valleys to the 3,000-metre-high peaks.
