Overview Map
Hohe Tauern National Park
 Chamois in the Hohe Tauern National Park The Hohe Tauern National Park is an area of extraordinary national beauty. It is a primary landscape, which means that it has never been influenced by man to an extent that would make recovery measures necessary. Far from it – it seems like vast areas have never been trespassed by man. Because of the hard winters and the dangers of avalanches, the Hohe Tauern can only be explored by highly experienced mountaineers. However, in summer the national park offers all of its beauty and variety to the visitors. The entire area is impressive, with some particular highlights that make a visit certainly worthwhile. The Hohe Tauern National Park consists of 266 mountain peaks that are over 3,000 meters high, and 551 lakes with a surface area ranging from 66.79 acres to 42 square yards. The top five are:
Specifying a detailed number of glaciers is much more difficult. The number of approx. 250 seems quite plausible. The longest glacier is the Pasterze within the Grossglockner area with a total length of 5 km from the glacier snout to the Horseshoe icefall, or 7 km from the glacier snout to the Johannisberg (as of 2003). These figures are impressive and prove the diversity of the Hohe Tauern National Park region. Its inhabitants are often forced to adjust to the extreme and hard living conditions. After all, the national park starts at an altitude of 1010m above sea level with its highest peak being the Grossglockner, which has an altitude of 3798m and is also the highest mountain in Austria. Undoubtedly, the rulers of this region are the wild animals: eagles, game, ibex, mountain hares, vultures, brown bears, and many more (see Hohe Tauern National Park Animals inhabit this region and are supervised by the national park rangers.
