As beautiful as the Ges\u00e4use National Park was as a place to work during the year, the Knights' Hall in R\u00f6thelstein Castle is a wonderful venue for the end-of-year conference.

New supervisory bodies sworn in<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Lukas Stelzl from Department 13 at the Office of the Styrian Provincial Government visited the national park administration to swear in new supervisory bodies on site. Similar to the mountain and nature guards in the rest of the province, national park authorities are responsible for supervisory tasks, monitoring legal regulations and providing information to visitors on a voluntary basis. National park authorities are a kind of national park police force and act directly on behalf of the provincial government, with the national park administration assuming operational control. We wish the new members of the area supervision team much joy and accident-free service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"New\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Continuation of the Ges\u00e4use shared taxi secured for 2024<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Between May and October 2024, the Ges\u00e4use shared taxi will once again supplement mobility in the Ges\u00e4use. This is made possible by the taxi companies Thalhuber and Wagner, as well as financial support from the municipalities of Admont, Ardning, Landl and St. Gallen, the tourism association and the national park.
\nSincere thanks are due to all those involved. The two taxi companies have been making the shared taxi service possible for 10 years, for which Federal Minister Leonore Gewessler recently thanked them personally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Ges\u00e4use\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

To exchange experiences in the Berchtesgaden National Park<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The colleagues in Berchtesgaden leave their full dynamics in the core area of nature, just like we do in the nature zone of the Ges\u00e4use NP.<\/p>\n

In the maintenance zone (1\/4 of the area, called the preservation zone in the Ges\u00e4use), active interventions for forest development were greatly reduced. Accompanying research by Prof. Rupert Seidl (TU Munich) shows that the development of economically overdeveloped monocultures into national park forests is by no means improved by the use of the chainsaw. Where the forest does not have to supply timber, but biodiversity and free genetic development are in the foreground, it is better if we leave the saws in the barn and let natural forces prevail. An instructive trip for Lutz Pickenpack, Head of the Styrian Provincial Forests and also Head of the Department of Forest and Wildlife Management in the Ges\u00e4use, for foresters Christopher F\u00fcrweger and Stefan Huber, for Alexander Maringer, Head of the Department of Research and Nature Conservation and also National Park Director Herbert W\u00f6lger. A big thank you for the personal guidance goes to Roland Baier, Director of the Berchtesgaden National Park and Daniel M\u00fcller, Head of SG 4 -Park Management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Ges\u00e4use\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Ges\u00e4use National Park in the So\u010da Valley<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This year's company outing of the Ges\u00e4use National Park took place from 13 to 15 October. With 22 colleagues we went over the Vr\u0161i\u010d Pass to Trenta, in the middle of the Triglav National Park, the only Slovenian National Park. There we were welcomed by Marco Pretner and guided through the visitor centre \"Dom Trenta\". After an exchange of experiences and a convivial evening, the next day we went to the So\u010da spring and into the rear Trenta valley. The afternoon hike took us further downstream, where the turquoise So\u010da blends ever deeper into the surrounding landscape. The journey home on Sunday was finally over the Predel Pass. A stop in Raibl and the visit to the mining town and the mining museum there concluded a programme full of contrasts. The whole team looks back on an extremely successful excursion, where fun was not neglected either.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Suspension\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Since 2020, the \"Market of the Future\" in Graz has made climate culture a multi-layered and exciting space for action - together with stakeholders.<\/p>\n

of initiative culture, nature conservation, science, business, civil society and art - with Styria's only national park, the Ges\u00e4use, right in the middle!<\/p>\n

At the \"Market of Biodiversity\" at Tierwelt Herberstein, numerous associations and organisations presented themselves, which are committed to our nature and thus to the protection of our environment.<\/p>\n

our livelihoods. Besides our \"neighbouring\" protected areas, the D\u00fcrrenstein Wilderness Area and the Styrian Eisenwurzen Nature Park<\/p>\n

the Ges\u00e4use National Park was also represented there. About a pile of deadwood and all the organisms found in it came<\/p>\n

Every two years, (almost) all staff members of the Austrian national parks meet.

The Hainburg tobacco factory became the Kulturfabrik, power plant plans became the Danube Floodplains National Park. History is not linear and always good for surprises!<\/p>\n

What do 23 women and men, 8 junior rangers and 6 kayakers have in common on a beautiful September Saturday in the Ges\u00e4use? Guess right, they are doing the annual general clean-up. This means that the main road and large parts of the Enns riverbank are cleared of rubbish. The result: 38 bags of rubbish, 1 bicycle frame, 1 front wheel, 2 drinks crates, 1 ski binding, 1 doll, 1 number plate, 1 miniature toy excavator and 1 bra. And of course, the most bizarre found object was awarded a prize. Afterwards, the entire work team was treated to a delicious vegetarian barbecue by the Youth for Nature team at the Weidendom adventure centre. This is what happened on 2 September 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Xeis\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Bird markers to protect grouse<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Ges\u00e4use National Park is home to protected grouse species such as capercaillie and black grouse. Suspension cables or overhead power lines at canopy height pose a danger to the birds. Experts therefore recommend making the obstacles visible to the animals.
\nOne of the capercaillie occurrences in the National Park is in the Gstatterboden basin. If you go higher up, you enter the habitat of the black grouse. Both habitats are intersected by the material cableway to the Ennstaler H\u00fctte. In order to prevent possible collisions, we were able to implement the installation of so-called \"bird protection markers\" in close coordination with the hut keepers and the Steyr Alpine Club. These are flags made of robust plastic, which are clipped onto an auxiliary rope. They are conspicuously coloured and reflect in order to warn birds flying through of the obstacle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Bird\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Opening of the exhibition of the Nepalese nature photographer and wildlife specialist Tashi R. Ghale.<\/p>\n

The FOKUS Gallery in Admont, Hauptstra\u00dfe 32, is currently hosting an impressive exhibition on what is probably the most impressive animal inhabitant of the highest mountain ranges on earth, the snow leopard. <\/p>\n

Native to the high mountains of Central Asia, its habitat covers a vast landscape of more than three million square kilometres. Nevertheless, the snow leopard's population is considered extremely threatened - conflicts with pastoralists, increased exploitation of resources and climate change are at the top of the list.
\nThe exhibition can be visited free of charge (Mon-Sat) until 12 August 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\u201eSchneeleoparden\u201c\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

For the first time, the Festival of Wilderness took place at the House of Wilderness in Lunz am See on 3 June 2023. The Wilderness Area D\u00fcrrenstein-Lassingtal presented itself to the public and invited various nature conservation organisations as co-exhibitors. Both the Ges\u00e4use National Park and the Kalkalpen National Park were happy to accept this invitation and presented joint activities such as the \"Lynx Trail\" and the \"Transnational Park\" bike trail. The National Parks Austria photo box rounded off our joint offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Boat taxi on the Salza<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Salza is Austria's white-water paradise. White water rafting is a one-way affair, so getting to the start or back to the starting point is a bit of a logistical challenge. In 2023 there will again be a \"boat taxi\" on the Salza.
\n To the website:<\/a> <\/p>\n

Erratum<\/strong>In the current \"Im Gseis\", the print magazine of the Ges\u00e4use National Park, it is reported on page 53 that the boat taxi has been discontinued due to lack of funding. This is not the case! After the magazine went to press, the necessary funds were raised. Too late to correct the article, but early enough for the start of the season on the Salza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Treasures of the Alpine Flora<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At the beginning of May, the exhibition \"Treasures of Alpine Flora\" opened in the gallery \"Alte S\u00e4gehalle Gstatterboden\". The show features the works of the renowned collection photographers Sebastian K\u00f6pcke and Volker Weinhold from Berlin, who have taken up the challenge of documenting the historical herbarium collections of Admont Monastery using modern photographic techniques. The plant specimens of Admont Monastery, some of which are more than 150 years old, go back for the most part to the collecting activities of Father Gabriel Strobl and include a large number of plant species from the region. They are an important resource for scientists and nature lovers alike.<\/p>\n

The exhibition can be seen from 1 May to 31 October 2023 in the gallery \"Alte S\u00e4gehalle\" in Gstatterboden. Admission is free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Ges\u00e4use Partner Excursion 2023<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Mine meets wine<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Organised this year by the Steirische Eisenwurzen Nature and Geopark, 30 Ges\u00e4use partners were able to take away impressions of southern Austria on the annual excursion. As usual, the excursion started after Easter and was organised in the tried and tested manner by coach operator Toni Wagner, with breakfast provided by the Planitzer family. Thank you for that. The aim of the excursion was to get to know other rural regions and their predicates in terms of sustainable regional development. Thus, the first 1.5 days were spent in the UNESCO Global Geopark Karawanken\/Karavanke in Carinthia and Slovenia. Impressions of regional mining history in Slovenia, tourist infrastructure projects at the Petzen ski resort in Bleiburg as well as regional brewery impressions could be taken away. The remaining days were spent in the South Styrian Nature Park around Leibnitz. Projects of the nature park were presented in the nature park centre in Grottenhof and the second evening was spent in the wine museum with tasting in Kitzeck. The various activities concerning the revitalisation of the town centre of Gamlitz on the last day of the excursion were also exciting. Of course, Southern Styria also stands for culinary delights and wine - so there was a cosy exchange with organic wine grower Otto Knaus, as a speciality partner of the local nature park. Due to the weather, the programme had to be flexible, but the regional culinary delights were certainly not neglected. The Styrian Eisenwurzen Nature and Geopark would like to take this opportunity to thank its partners for their interest and cooperation with the Ges\u00e4use Tourist Board and the Ges\u00e4use National Park.

Great interest at the National Park Forum 2023<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Austria's first golden eagle breeding was the topic at the National Park Forum 2023. Magdalena Kaltenbrunner and Alexander Maringer presented the results of National Park research on the \"kings of the air\" in the Ges\u00e4use. It is very pleasing to note that a stable population of these birds with regular breeding successes has been recorded in the Ges\u00e4use National Park for years. The report on the equipping of three birds with GPS transmitters was certainly one of the highlights of the evening. National Park Director Herbert W\u00f6lger also reported on news from all departments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Danilo Re Memorial 2023<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

From 19 to 22 January 2023, the traditional \"Danilo Re Memorial\" took place, a competition in which rangers from all over the Alpine region compete in four disciplines. This year, our teams went to Cogne in the Grand Paradiso National Park in Italy. Besides the Alpine Buffet, where specialities from all Alpine countries were tasted, and the ranger seminars, where we learned about the challenges other Alpine protected areas have to deal with, the sporting competition was at the centre of the event. Representatives from many Alpine protected areas competed against each other in ski mountaineering, slalom, cross-country skiing and shooting. Unfortunately, we did not win any trophies this year, but we had many interesting encounters with colleagues from Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Slovenia and France. The annual event is co-organised by Alparc, the Alpine Network of Protected Areas, and took place for the 27th time. The \"Danilo Re Memorial 2024\" will take place in the Kalkalpen National Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Knowledge for the Vjosa<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Vjosa is considered Europe's last wild river. The river rises in Greece and flows for 272 km through Albania until it flows into the Adriatic Sea.
\nAn Albanian delegation consisting of the responsible ministry, local actors and NGOs has now visited several Austrian national parks to find out what it would be like if the Vjosa were to be declared a national park. Time is pressing, as only a few months are available to submit a nomination as an international protected area.
\nThe Ges\u00e4use National Park was not only able to impress the group with the autumnal natural spectacle, but also provide tangible tips for future management. Things that go easily here after 20 years are still dreams of the future for the Vjosa. We keep up the exchange and wish our Albanian colleagues much success in protecting their equally magnificent nature!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Image:\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Lettmair Au<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As reported, our path system in the Lettmair Au was largely destroyed by a storm. The first stage of restoration is now done. We like giant trees better when they are standing, but when the storm tosses them, that is to be accepted as part of the natural dynamic. The forestry team of Steierm\u00e4rkische Landesforste has blazed a trail through the wilderness of windthrow, has proceeded very sensitively and has done a quite outstanding job. Great thanks are due to Peter Thaler and Martin Fluch. The path was cleared with the least possible interference in the natural development. Until the reopening, the path surface has to be redone, the jetty still repaired and, above all, a replacement for the \"talking beech\" has to be created.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Opening of the current exhibition at FOKUS, the gallery of the National Park Photo School<\/strong>
\n\"6ute 6r\u00fcnde\" - this is the name of the exhibition by photographer Rupert Kogler, in which he presents the six domestic national parks in sensitive, intimate portraits and at the same time reveals to visitors his very personal approach to nature photography. He dedicates himself without exception to authentic nature photographs while at the same time paying attention to aesthetic standards. For Rupert Kogler, this also includes the exclusive use of natural light and refraining from any deliberate interference with nature.<\/p>\n

\"Besides my efforts as a nature educator to raise awareness, my work as a nature photographer also gives me countless unforgettable moments that provide me with a lifelong wealth. Both aspects are undoubtedly only brought to bear with the help of authentic and honest photographs. My concern is to show what wonders can be waiting outside and what is currently more at stake than ever!\" says Rupert Kogler, whose pictures can be seen at the FOKUS Gallery in Admont until 20 August.<\/p>\n

In honour of the 20th anniversary of the Ges\u00e4use National Park, the Austrian Mint has issued a gold coin. Entitled \"Am wilden Wasser\", the collector's coin was minted in the series \"Naturschatz Alpen\". On the value side is the ornamental feathered carnation, on the other side the entrance to the Ges\u00e4use.<\/p>\n

Saving the grayling<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Grayling are a leading fish species in the Enns in the Ges\u00e4use. In general, things are bad for the fish in the Enns, as in many other waters. River straightening, power plants, incorrect fisheries management and natural enemies: the melange of these factors is deadly.
\nA delegation from the Ges\u00e4use studied how fishing can make a positive contribution to the Ybbs. Stefan Guttmann from the association \"Save the Ybbs Grayling\" (www.ybbs-aesche.at<\/a>) has shown which stocking measures have succeeded in rebuilding a self-regenerating grayling stock in the lower reaches of the Ybbs. The most important biological success factor: the fish must be genetically suitable and grow up in the water from an early age! The most important organisational success factor: cooperation of the fishing rights holders along the course of the river!
\nThe Gstatterboden-Ges\u00e4use Fishing Association, the Styrian Fisheries Association, the Styrian Provincial Forests and the Ges\u00e4use National Park were all involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Mayors, innkeepers, farmers as well as tourism representatives of the 36 mountaineering villages met last weekend in Johnsbach in the Ges\u00e4use. After the welcome by Liliana Dagostin (Head of the Department of Spatial Planning and Nature Conservation, Alpine Club Austria), the annual meeting opened on Friday morning with a discussion round. Speakers on the topic of \"20 years of Ges\u00e4use National Park and Protocols of the Alpine Convention in Austria\" were Alenka Smerkolj, Secretary General of the Alpine Convention, Ministerial Councillor Ewald Galle from the Ministry of Climate Protection, Ursula Lackner, Provincial Councillor for Styria, and Herbert W\u00f6lger, Director of the National Park. Many of the speakers emphasised the importance of the mountaineering villages and the importance of combining environmental protection and tourism. \"We have to learn to deal with nature. Man is part of nature,\" remarked Provincial Councillor Lackner, for example. Ministerial Councillor Galle emphasised the goal of \"reconciling environmental compatibility and tourism\".<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n

Aktionstag "Bleifrei Jagern" <\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

On 30 April 2022, the Admont-St. Gallen branch of the Styrian Hunting Protection Association invited to a control shooting at the Erzherzog Johann shooting range in St. Gallen. In cooperation with the Ges\u00e4use National Park, lead-free ammunition could be tested free of charge. Gunsmith Harald Pichler provided practical assistance. More than 50% of the participants were convinced of the hitting quality of the lead-free ammunition and shot their weapons with it. We are convinced that the new ammunition will also prove to be suitable for further use. Thus, another small step has been taken to reduce lead pollution of the environment in the vicinity of the National Park.<\/p>\n

Forests of the future<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This time we are not bringing news from the National Park, but from the Forestry Directorate of the Province of Styria. They have published an extremely remarkable tool called \"Dynamic Forest Typing\". With this tool it is possible to estimate for the whole of Styria which trees and tree communities will be suitable in the future due to the expected climate.<\/p>\n

The pairs of pictures show the suitability of Upper Styria for pedunculate oak and spruce, respectively, currently and for approx. 2085. Meaning of the colours: the greener, the more suitable. The problem lies in the speed of climate change. In a time span in which trees - from a forestry point of view - have only completed half of their rotation period, the general conditions are changing massively. Many spruces that germinate today will not be doing well in 60 years. Conversely, it is difficult to plant English oaks today under suboptimal conditions, although they would do very well in 60 years.
\nFor forestry, this is a difficult question to solve. And for the forest wilderness in the national park? There, too, change is happening too quickly, but the adaptive and healing powers of nature have priority and it will become clear how the forest itself - without our influence - will develop. It has what it takes, as it has proven for many millions of years.<\/p>\n

National Park Oldie on Tik Tok<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Public institutions - such as the internationally recognised Gesaeuse National Park - try to present themselves as seriously and scientifically as possible in their public relations work. National Park veteran Andreas Hollinger is trying a more humorous approach for \"his\" Gesaeuse Park. On the social media platform Tik Tok, which primarily attracts a younger audience, Hollinger excitedly wriggles out from behind bushes, asks questions like \"Have you ever thought about why the Ges\u00e4use is called the Ges\u00e4use?\", or briefly and succinctly explains connections.
\nThe short videos always end with the self-deprecating question \"Interesting, then stay tuned - wia da Ennstola sogt\".
\nIt remains to be seen how viewers of the platform rate the hustle and bustle of the national park oldie: interesting or too fidgety?

Teachers learn in the National Park<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

How can future teachers teach children and young people about nature and biodiversity? Students of the Styrian University of Teacher Education with Prof. Dr. Matthias Kowasch organised an exercise on this topic in Gstatterboden. To start with, ranger Markus Blank described the basics of \"interpretation\". Sensitised accordingly, they then went into the field. Fittingly, the group was at the mercy of nature's whims, trudging through knee-high snow and having to adapt the prepared programme to the unexpectedly harsh conditions. But flexibility and adaptability are not a bad basis for the quality practice of the teaching profession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n
