How do you get to the Gesäuse National Park?
Anyone who visits a national park should take plenty of time... time to look, marvel, observe and time to let nature take its effect on you. The best way to do this is afoot, by bicycle or by public transport.
We are of course aware that the most comfortable and fastest means of transport of our time is still one's own car. However, we ask our visitors to first check out the possibilities of public transport and soft mobility and to leave their own cars behind as often as possible...
