Flying Gemstones - Day Butterflies

Butterflies and Their Habitats in the Kalkalpen National Park
Over 1,600 butterfly species flutter in the Kalkalpen National Park, making it the area with the highest diversity of species recorded in Austria. The day butterflies love the flower-rich habitats and the open, natural forests. If the butterflies are scarce during damp and cold weather, we will focus on their habitat requirements and nectar plants during the tour.
