The Abandoned Valley - From Mining Area to World Natural Heritage

Join us for an exciting journey through time. In the Kalkalpen National Park, you will repeatedly encounter traces of the past - remnants of buildings, dilapidated tunnels, and old ironworks. In Weißwasser, deep within the Hintergebirge, there was a mining settlement where once 1,000 people lived. After a visit to the Knappenhaus Unterlaussa, we will head to the original sites of the mining settlement. Our hike will then continue to the UNESCO World Heritage areas. Here, it becomes clear how quickly nature covers human traces.
