National Park Worlds Hohe Tauern

The new ‘Gallery of Life’ leads 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 old Swiss stone pine disc refers to the nature of the Pasterze 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. In 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.
