We are pleased to be able to welcome you as guests in the Nassfeld-Pressegger See adventure region especially this year. The past few months have presented us all with new challenges, and yet, or perhaps precisely because of them, we are looking optimistically into the future again, and would like to make this year’s summer holiday a relaxing experience for you. Should there be any restrictions on the use of recreational services in the region due to legal regulations, federal or state notices or other unforeseeable events, we ask for your understanding. In this context, we would also like to point out that there is no entitlement to price reductions or refunds. The availability of all leisure services is updated daily at www.nassfeld.at! At the same time, we ask you to comply with the Covid-19 protective measures, prescribed by the government, without exception for your own safety and for the protection of other guests and the locals. We would like to draw your attention to the following info sheet! Thank you very much for your understanding. It’s good to have you here! Info- & Servicecenter Nassfeld-Pressegger See and partners NASSFELD-PRESSEGGER SEE | LESACHTAL | WEISSENSEE GUIDELINES FOR MOUNTAIN HIKING GUIDES IN CARINTHIA 1.) HEALTHY ON TOUR The mountain guide and the guests must feel completely healthy at the start of the tour. 2.) REDUCE THE READINESS TO TAKE RISKS Stay well below the guests‘ personal ability limits when undertaking alpine activities. Consider the additional risks and difficulties involved in rescue operations and the additional strain on hospitals. 3.) KEEP DISTANCE Keep a distance of 2 metres (this is slightly more than 2 arm lengths for an adult) and use a face mask covering mouth and nose if, in exceptional cases, keeping the minimum distance of 2 me- tres is not possible. The mountain guide must ensure that every guest keeps the safety distance (also during breaks, at the summit etc.) and must be able to keep the whole group within sight (e.g. by choosing a suitable route, with clear rules of conduct on the trail etc.). 4.) MOUNTAIN SPORTS ONLY IN SMALL GROUPS The upper limit is 10 persons per group (1 mountain guide plus 9 guests). Remember that with increasing group size and depending on the difficulty of the tour, it gets more difficult to keep the safety distance and to keep track of the group. Avoid highly frequented tours and places. 5.) REFRAIN FROM NORMAL RITUALS For example, shaking hands, hugs, kiss at the summit, offering a drinking bottle to others, etc. 6.) TAKE ALONG FACE MASK AND DISINFECTANT In addition to the general emergency equipment, face mask and disinfectant should be carried in the rucksack for the time being. The mountain guide must ensure that every guest has a face mask during the tour. 7.) FACE MASKS FOR CARPOOLS In addition, only two passengers may sit in each row of seats (including the driver). Travel by pu- blic transport is the preferred option. 8.) IN AN EMERGENCY, PROCEED AS ALWAYS As a first-aider, follow the generally accepted first aid guidelines and use a face mask in addition.

Do not leave hiking trails on alpine pastures! Please keep your dog under control and on a leash! Walk calmly and without attracting attention past the animals in safe distance (20 - 50 meters). Do not startle the animals and do not look the animals directly in the eyes. Leave the animals alone and do not touch them. Never touch calves! Watch out for threatening gestures of the animals: lowering the head, pawing the ground, lowering, snorting.

  • Hanginstabilitäten Und Massenbewegungen Im Lesachtal / Kärnten
    R. HOLZER, C. GORITSCHNIG: Lesachtal 159 Hanginstabilitäten und Massenbewegungen im Lesachtal / Kärnten R. HOLZER, C. GORITSCHNIG Abstract The present article should be considered as an attempt to register areas with a low slope stability along the river Gail in the Lesach valley in upper Carinthia (Southem Austria) and to divide them fr om areas with an increased slope stability. In many cases unstable slopes and the resulting mass movements are a relevant source of debris and might Iead subsequently to catastrophic mud tlows which endanger villages and agricultural areas quite fr equenly in alpine regions. For this reason any kind of slope fa ilure, old ones, covered with vegetation, and still active ones, has been mapped. The classification of slope fa ilures has been done according to M. MOSER (1973): RotatiOJlal landslides wilhout a preformed sliding plane • Transitional landslides on a prefonned sliding plane • Erosion by fl owing water • Tbc kind of slope fa ilure is mainly detennined by the lithological and structural attributes of the rock. In the Lesach valley the siltic talus cover, which is particularly thick above the Periadriatic Fault, is very often aftected by slope failures and other kinds of mass movements. Apart from that fine foliated cristalline schists, just like mica schists, phyllonites or chloritic schists tend to develop unstable slopes. Also the dcgrce of fracturing by joints and fa ults plays an important role. Many rocks (especially phyllonites) in the mapped area are ragged along their parting planes, so that they now appear as loose rocks. Slope fa ilures in moraines are not very common, however they can bring huge amounts of dcbris if they become unstable.

  • Southern Flora
    Southern Flora In the Carnic and Gailtal Alps the neighborhood to the sunny and warm Mediterranean is not only expressed by good weather but also by a remarkable richness and diversity of the vegetation. When the ice started to melt at the end of the last ice age some 18.000 years ago and a new soil developed, undemanding plants were the first to migrate into these cold regions. With increasing temperatures birch and pine trees appeared which were followed by shadowing bushes and woods. Some 9.000 years before present the spruce and different leaf trees started their victory accompanied little later by the fir tree und red beech. In the Gail Valley the composition of the forests was strongly changed by man since the 9th century BC (Hallstatt Age). Due to forest clearance by mining and agriculture birch and spruce trees were repressed and space for crop and herbage was provided. In Carinthia such activities were already practiced in the Younger Stone Age. Since the Middle Ages extensive clear-cutting changed the natural to a cultural landscape for agriculture and grazing purposes. The present situation of the forests with their high number of spruce trees resulted from forestry measures since the 19th century. Background: Above the valley floor north of the Gail Valley the vegetation is sparser compared to the southern side due to dryness. The northern Carnic Alps are dominated by mixed birch and fir forests. Only the spruce opens the pure stand to a certain degree. These trees are accompanied by Waldmeister, Sanikel, Goldnessel and Bingelkraut as well as by invading plants from the south like ätterige Anemone, Großblütige Taubnessel, Aremonie, Fünfblättriger Zahnwurz, sometimes Alpen Mannstreu, Akelei, Lamarcks Eisenhut, Gärrewurz, Krainer Lilie and others.

  • E-Branding of Rural Tourism in Carinthia, Austria
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Androniki Kavoura / Evgenia Bitsani E-branding of rural tourism in Carinthia, Austria Abstract Th e aim of this paper is to create an e-branding model which could also be applied for place branding in small central rural regions of Central Europe based on the innovative methodology of rural tour marketing. It was based and went beyond the European program of transnational cooperation, INTERREG IIIB CADSES. Th e region of Carinthia, Austria was set as a case study for the application of interrelating scientifi c theories of marketing, place branding and place identity in relation to and in connection with national identity. Th e paper succeeds in making a practical and theoretical contribution on the process of the creation of branding, which consists of a holistic approach of the management of every business operating in the region. Virtual reality was promoted since it may provide a direct and international impact via the creation of a virtual community appealing to a broad number of potential visitors. Th is latter, is the contribution of this paper since it proposes a model of creating e-branding, fi rst applied to the virtual community; as the virtual space /time precedes the real one and is used to implement and succeed in the design of the rural marketing of the European research programme in this region. Key words: rural tourism marketing; culinary tourism; destination e-branding; Rural Tour e-Brand Carinthia; national identity; place e-branding; Austria Introduction Th e distinct characteristics of a region may combine natural, cultural and gastronomical resources while rural tourism may create the brand destination of a region leading to the emotional projection of the region.

    OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools Country Background Report for Austria Prepared by Michael Bruneforth, Bernhard Chabera, Stefan Vogtenhuber, Lorenz Lassnigg Autumn 2015 This report was prepared by the Ministry of Education and Women’s Affairs (BMBF), the Federal Institute for Educational Research, Innovation & Development of the Austrian School System (BIFIE) and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) as an input to the OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools. The OECD and the European Commission (EC) have established a partnership for the project, whereby participation costs of countries which are part of the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme are partly covered. The participation of Austria was organised with the support of the EC in the context of this partnership. The report responds to guidelines the OECD provided to all countries and it aimed to prepare for the country visit of the OECD review team to Austria in June 2015. The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the national authority, the OECD or its member countries. Further information about the OECD Review is available at www.oecd.org/edu/school/schoolresourcesreview.htm.

  • Localising the Threats Due to Global Climate Change in Mountain Environment
    Proceedings, Draft Version: ProClim Conference: Mountain regions in changing climates, Davos Oct. 13-16, 1992 Forthcoming Routledge, June 1994, Ed. M. Beniston LOCALISING THE THREATS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN MOUNTAIN ENVIRONMENTS Meinhard Breiling, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg Austria Pavel Charamza, Department of Statistics, Charles University, Czech Republic Abstract Global climate change is expected to have severe impacts in particular on Alpine regions with climate dependent economies and a vulnerable environment. Usual environmental risk like torrents floods and avalanches are supposed to increase. The current employment pattern might be disrupted by climate change. In particular local Alpine communities and districts will feel the effects. An attempt is done to quantify the expected losses due to climate change on a local level. Losses are estimated by diminished income for the winter tourist industry. As the pace of warming is still unknown three scenarios of warming are provided. Local decision makers should be enabled to judge the economic magnitude of the problem and to develop counter strategies against climate change. Keywords: climate change, economic modelling, regional planning, natural hazards, tourism. Introduction Global climatic change has been an ongoing research topic for more than 15 years. However, little has been done to bring adequate awareness to decision makers on a local level. Impacts in Alpine regions will occur first on the local level resulting later on in over regional problems. Usually the local decision makers are not aware of how global climate change can affect the local life and how to take it into account at various planning processes. Alpine regions are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of global climatic change both from an economic and environmental perspective.

Description The Pal Grande Formation consists mainly of gray mudstone and wackestone rich in fossils. The original bedding is often concealed by pressure solution and/or burrowing giving to the limestone a characteristic pseudo-nodular look. The red- dish colour, when present, is usually limited to the lower part of the formation. At places, in the basal part of the forma- tion, interlayered cm to dm calciruditic and calcarenitic (grainstone) intervals are present, as well as ruditic (intraclast brec- cia) levels. The ruditic beds can reach thickness of 1-2 m. Black shale, intepreted as equivalent to the Hangenberg Shale (Hangenberg Event) are present only at two localities (Kronhof Graben and Plan di Zermula) (PERRI & SPALLETTA, 2001).

We suggest Difficulty Wanderweg planning a two days-hiking tour. For the most part, Duration 3:00 hh:mm the geotrail itself follows the much-used hiking paths no. 438 and 403; they require surefootedness but do not run across precipitous terrain. WORLD-RENOWNED GEOLOGY AT A GLANCE Along the “Lake Wolayer” Geotrail you will discover the remains of an ancient ocean and its fossilised inhabitants such as corals, sea lilies and squids dating back several hundred million years. The Geotrail at Lake Wolayer takes you through a world of ancient shallow and deep seas. Because of this juxtaposition of sediment of shallow and deep seas, the Lake Wolayer area is among the 100 geologically most important regions of the world. The ancient sea embraced great parts of Europe including the Lake Wolayer region some 460 million years ago, where it remained until 320 million years ago. It was followed by the turbulent Variscan mountain building event: some areas were lifted while others subsided. Rocks were folded, displaced and thrust upon each other. The sea and its inhabitants disappeared. The entire Carnic and Gailtal Alps were affected by this mountain formation period. The sea returned during the Upper Carboniferous, but did not reach this area again. STOPPING POINT World-renowned geology at a glance The Lambertenghi Ridge 1 2 The Wolayer Valley separates in the East two Looking north, you can see the Lambertenghi Ridge, entirely different realms of rocks.
