The three federal states of Salzburg, Carinthia and Tyrol share one of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe and champion a common goal – protecting a valuable natural area, preserving a unique nature and cultural landscape complete with its variety-packed flora and fauna. Thousands of rare animal species and plants have made their home here and so it should remain in the future too.
