A measurement showed that it is an astonishing 47 metres tall and has a huge circumference of 3.95 metres at chest height! However, this is not quite true, because trees cannot grow into the sky. That is due to physics. Leaves evaporate water. Evaporation ensures that water can be drawn from the roots into the crown via complicated conduits. However, the higher the tree gets, the more difficult it is to transport the water that far up and at some point a limit is reached where gas bubbles would form and the system would no longer work. This is why trees - not even the sky pine - do not grow to the sky.<br \/>\nP.S.: This fir is named after the legendary forestry director Franz Himmelsto\u00df, head of the Steierm\u00e4rkische Landesforste forestry operation from 1953 to 1967, who campaigned massively and emphatically for the preservation of the strong solitary trees.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Himmelstosstanne-1.jpg\" alt=\"Himmelstos fir\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_60374cb335a1c' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--image-text lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"image-text\">\n    <div class=\"image-text__content image-text__column\">\n        <p class=\"image-text__subtitle\">20.08.2020<\/p>\n        <h3 class=\"image-text__title uppercase color-text-darker\">A new photo point at the Willow Dome<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"image-text__text wysiwyg color-text-grey\">\n            <p>The \"one\" cherished souvenir picture from the Ges\u00e4use National Park, as a selfie or with the whole family, for school classes the perfect frame for the class photo as a souvenir of the visit to the Weidendom, or simply the cosy togetherness with an unusual backdrop...<br \/>\nWe have now created the appropriate setting for these pictures: a spectacular mountain landscape as the background and lots of wilderness in the foreground - the essential elements of the Ges\u00e4use National Park as important photo ingredients!!!<br \/>\nTry it out!!!

For example, two spruce trunks have been lying in the lake for almost 1400 years. As part of the Sulzkarsee project, one piece of each was recovered and has now been dated. Trees produce wood during their lifetime. In our latitudes, this wood growth is interrupted in the winter half-year. This results in clearly defined annual rings and, depending on the weather sequence over several years, a unique pattern that is recognisable in all trees of a wood species and region. The pattern can be used for dating.<br \/>\nThe two logs from Sulzkarsee in the Ges\u00e4use National Park fell into the lake in the years after 617 and 590 AD, respectively, and were at least 150 and 377 years old. The older one was therefore already standing on the lakeshore around the year 200 AD!<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sulzkarsee-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sulzkarsee\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_60374d1935a1e' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--image-text lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"image-text\">\n    <div class=\"image-text__content image-text__column\">\n        <p class=\"image-text__subtitle\">03.08.2020<\/p>\n        <h3 class=\"image-text__title uppercase color-text-darker\">What's that smell?<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"image-text__text wysiwyg color-text-grey\">\n            <p>Since this summer there has been the opportunity to participate in an impressive natural process just a few steps from the willow dome on the path towards the visitors' car park: the cycle of life! At regular intervals, a dead piece of game is laid out by the national park administration in a specially prepared place. This carcass is an important source of food for a large number of creatures and makes another valuable contribution to biodiversity and the nutrient cycle! Within a short period of time, it is colonised by a large number of specialised insects such as blowflies and flesh flies, short-winged moths, or multicoloured and carrion beetles. After only a few weeks, only bones, skin, cartilage remains and some fur are left, which are now decomposed in a much slower process.<br \/>\nSo: close your nose and participate... because death is also an indispensable part of life!<br \/>\nAbout the pictures: On Friday, 31 July, a fawn was found freshly dead;<br \/>\nDate of recording image 01: Saturday, 01 August<br \/>\nDate of photo 02: Monday, 03 August<br \/>\nDate of photo 03: Tuesday, 04 August<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kadaverstation-Kopie-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Carcass station copy (1)\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_60374f5435a1f' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--image-text lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"image-text\">\n    <div class=\"image-text__content image-text__column\">\n        <p class=\"image-text__subtitle\">03.08.2020<\/p>\n        <h3 class=\"image-text__title uppercase color-text-darker\">Tear out - Dig out - Dispose of<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"image-text__text wysiwyg color-text-grey\">\n            <p>At the end of July, a team of 7 people went out with spades and shovels to once again get to grips with an occurrence of Japanese knotweed in the national park.<br \/>\nJapanese knotweed is considered a highly invasive neophyte that affects the diversity of our plant and therefore animal life through its rapid growth and large-scale spread.<br \/>\nTo bring knotweed to its knees, it must be dug up as deep as possible. This is easier said than done - meter-long rhizomes and deep-reaching roots make the task difficult. And last but not least, the battlefield must be thoroughly cleaned up, because a small, forgotten piece of stem can develop into a complete plant again within a short time.<br \/>\nThe knotweed stand on the Enns River was treated for the third time this year and the control measures are showing initial success.

Of course, we in the National Park make sure that all construction sites are carried out in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

The sandpipers have arrived in their summer home and have already started breeding or at least found their own territory. A record-breaking 10 pairs have made their way to the Enns in the National Park this year. Provided that no floods endanger the brood or the young and that visitors abide by the rules, we can expect many offspring of the sandpipers this year. Therefore, please observe the ban on entering the gravel banks when you are in the National Park! If you want to see sandpipers yourself, with a bit of luck you have a good chance at the lookout point at the end of the Leierweg near the observation hut. Here you can often find them foraging on the alluvial islands.

Our events take place in very small groups, our rangers have been specially trained in corona protection measures and those who go hiking individually will often not meet anyone for hours. From June onwards, our events will take place regularly again. We go in small groups anyway, and our rangers have been specially trained on top of that! The restaurant in the National Park Pavilion in Gstatterboden will be open from 29 May (Monday closing day) from 10:00 to 22:00. The exhibition \"Planspitze - mountain of contrasts\" in the National Park Pavilion Gstatterboden can be visited by families and small groups from 10:00 to 18:00 with free admission.<br \/>\nThe Willow Dome is supervised from 30 May on public holidays and weekends from 10:00 to 18:00, research programmes with limited group size are offered daily from 01 July to 13 September at 11:00, 14:00 and 16:00. The Wilder John, Lettmair Au and Leierweg theme trails as well as the Ecological Footprint are free to walk. The mountain bike trails Hochscheibenalm, Ennsbodenweg and the Rauchbodenweg are open to the public, the Johnsbacher Almrunde only from around mid-June due to residual snow.<br \/>\nThe exhibition \"Passion for Nature\" at Admont Abbey is closed until further notice, as is the entire museum. The information office in Admont is now open to visitors from Monday to Friday from 10:00 - 15:00. Most of the refuges in the Ges\u00e4use National Park will be open from 15 May, but unfortunately do not currently offer overnight accommodation.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021_03_01_Gesaeuse-Eingang\u00a9StefanLeitner_037-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Cover_Image_Enns_c_Stefan_Leitner\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_6037a05cff5e1' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--image-text lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"image-text\">\n    <div class=\"image-text__content image-text__column\">\n        <p class=\"image-text__subtitle\">11.05.2020<\/p>\n        <h3 class=\"image-text__title uppercase color-text-darker\">Media Scholarships 2020<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"image-text__text wysiwyg color-text-grey\">\n            <p>Nationalparks Austria Media Scholarship 2020: Three professionals visit the Ges\u00e4use National Park as photographers and writers.

This year, however, three specialists in their field are coming to the Ges\u00e4use National Park: journalist and author Leonhard F.

Last year, two creative minds were again selected from over 100 applicants for the Ges\u00e4use. The two-week stay should lead to the most intensive nature experiences possible. The National Park therefore provided the young people with very secluded and isolated accommodation without electricity or any other infrastructure.
