  • National Park Kalkalpen - Experience Wilderness. Discover Diversity

The National Park Kalkalpen in the Sengsengebirge and Reichraminger Hintergebirge protects Austria's last large forest wilderness. The old beech forests and primeval beech forests in the park, together with the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area, are designated as Austria's first and only UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Remarkable is the high number of "primeval forest species" that can only survive in forests with old trees and sufficient deadwood.
