Proper behavior in the mountains
Careful route planning based on descriptions and hiking maps is essential for a successful mountain hike.
Equally important is correctly assessing the mountain experience, fitness, surefootedness, freedom from vertigo, and resilience of all participants.
Never leave marked hiking trails and avoid shortcuts.
Inform yourself about the weather conditions before the hike and return to the valley in case of deteriorating weather.
The mountains are for everyone. It is every hiker's duty to help preserve their cleanliness. Take waste down into the valley and protect the animal and plant life.
Always keep dogs under control and on a short leash. If an attack by a grazing animal is imminent, immediately unleash the dog.
Austrian farmers make an important contribution to preserving our alpine landscape. Visitors are asked to adapt respectfully to this beautiful landscape.
Treat the people working here, nature, and animals with respect.
Here are the most important emergency numbers in case of an accident in Austria:

The UNESCO Biosphere Park Nockberge
Majestic, mighty and unique – the UNESCO Biosphere Park Carinthian Nockberge is an alpine jewel with unique natural treasures, a diverse cultural landscape, as well as rare animal and plant species. People have lived here in harmony with nature for centuries. Gently rolling with peaks over 2400 meters and picturesque alpine meadows – the Biosphere Park Carinthian Nockberge is a rare natural idyll in the midst of the Austrian Alps, covering an area of about 500 square kilometers.
In 2012, it was designated as a biosphere park by UNESCO. The park is based on three pillars of sustainability: ecological balance, economic security, and social justice. Life here is in harmony with nature, with the rare animal and plant world respected and cherished.
Regional products, processed according to old traditions, testify to careful work based on handed-down recipes. Trained biosphere park rangers promise unforgettable routes for families, and in several education programs this knowledge is also passed on to students. No matter the season, the biosphere park always offers a treasure chest full of experiences.
