Hohe Tauern National Park: “National Park Worlds”
Visitors become “National Park Worlds time travelers”. Discover our ten new worlds.
The National Park Worlds inspire visitors to discover the fascinating natural landscape of the Hohe Tauern for themselves. But they also enable visitors to travel with all their senses to places, eras, and areas that would otherwise remain inaccessible to humans. The new “Gallery of Life,” for example, leads visitors into the Untersulzbachtal wilderness area and offers magnificent insights into this untouched corner of the earth, where there is no cultivation: wonderful images stimulate the imagination, river gravel and a rock slab with a mosaic of centuries-old lichens have made the journey from the wilderness to the exhibition. In the “Glacier World,” a 6,000-year-old Swiss stone pine disc refers to the nature of the Pasterzengletscher glacier in the Neolithic Age, and the replica of a marine reptile in the “Peaks from the Sea Floor” world shows that 150 million years ago, there was a tropical sea in the Hohe Tauern region. The “Glacier Friendship Book” introduces leading glacier experts and their research. The “Water Kingdom” refers to the region’s abundance of water with its 500 mountain lakes, 800 moors, and streams—an impressive, oversized room installation takes visitors on a journey of a drop of water through the Hohe Tauern National Park.
