Animals
Lynx, golden eagle, northern giant eye, sandpiper...they all share the same habitat: Gesäuse National Park!
Night sky
The Gesäuse owes its dark starry sky to its geographic location. Austria's largest cities, Vienna, Graz, Salzburg and Linz, are quite far away from the Gesäuse. It lies exactly in the dark center of these metropolises.
