The last day of our field trip we visited National park Geasause which is near Eisenerz, the town we spent our time the day before. It’s obvious that the weather in mountains is changing very often and it‘s raining a lot. Sadly, that day wasn’t an exception. Our guide in the national park was a very friendly woman from the department of environmental education. She showed us a presentation about the park, preservation of nature, special projects and cooperation with partners. Her english was easy to understand. | The last day of our field trip we visited National park Geasause which is near Eisenerz, the town we spent our time the day before.

National park Gesäuse is located in central Austria in the north of Styria province. It’s the youngest one out of the six austrian national parks (founded in 2002) and with its area of 11 054 ha is the third largest. Half of the area is covered by forests. It‘s situated in Ennstal Alps, which is a mountain range of limestone and dolomit origin. It’s very popular among climbers for over 100 years. Character of the valley is formed by the river Enns that cuts through the mountains. The total lenght of this river is more than 200 km and its mostly regulated and modified by human except the part that flows though the park. The unchanged natural character and dynamics of the river, steep mountain ranges and huge differences in height provide suitable living conditions for endangered and rare species of plants and wildlife and high diversity of habitat. Each year the park welcomes over 30 000 visitors from all over the world and many of them are from abroad. We were quite surprised, that our guide said international visitors are often more enthusiastic and consider it even more important then local visitors! | National park Gesäuse is located in central Austria in the north of Styria province.
