Austria's largest alpine protected area and the nature reserve of the Alps

Hohe Tauern National Park

Hohe Tauern National Park is Austria's premier protected mountain landscape and the largest national park in the country as well as the largest nature reserve in the entire Alps. The park protects the High Tauern mountain range, which forms the geographic heart of the Central Eastern Alps and contains Austria's highest mountains. The park spans the three Austrian states of Carinthia, Salzburg, and Tyrol, with a small portion extending into the Italian province of South Tyrol. Established through a declaration signed in 1971 at Heiligenblut, the park represents a landmark conservation initiative that protects dramatic alpine landscapes, glaciers, waterfalls, and unique ecological habitats across one of Europe's most significant mountain regions.
