The model can be used as a decision support tool for both, short-term management and long-term planning. are to increase hydropower generation and to protect the environment and the landscape. Informatic simulation model/platform Early Warning System for Drinking Water The early warning system is dedicated to ensuring a sustainable drinking water supply. It can be separated into two parts: Preliminary version established Supply (Province of Carinthia, Austria) 1) a scenario catalogue for drought and water scarcity conditions; 2) an estimation tool for drinking water resources. Informatic simulation model/platform Early Warning System for the Piave The related purpose helps to prevent user conflicts between hydropower generation and agricultural use. The early warning system for water scarcity uses a Established Catchment (Province of Veneto, Italy) methodology consisting of the analysis of the main hydro-meteorological parameters in 9 Alpine sub-catchments of the Piave River. This early warning system is a multi-criteria method focusing on a statistical analysis that considers the last 25 hydrological years as a reference period. The “Water Scarcity Index” (WSI) is estimated by comparing the current situation to the past flow/hydrological statistics. Informatic simulation model/platform Optimizing Irrigation – an Early Warning The system contributes to water-saving measures for agriculture. In order to optimize the amount of water used for irrigation, a short-term early warning system Established System for Agriculture in Slovenia for agriculture was developed for the Pilot Sites of Dravsko polje and Ptujsko polje in Slovenia. This early warning system was based on the forecast of the quantity of water and the timing of its application to various crops using the IRRFIB (Irrigation Forecast Model in Slovenia).

  • High-Mountain Permafrost in the Austrian Alps (Europe)
    HIGH-MOUNTAIN PERMAFROST IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS (EUROPE) Gerhard Karl Lieb Institute of Geography University of Graz Heinrichstrasse 36 A-8010 Graz e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Permafrost research in the Austrian Alps (Eastern Alps) is based on a variety of methods, including at large scales, the measurement of the temperature of springs and of the base of winter snow cover, and at small scales, mainly an inventory of some 1450 rock glaciers. Taking all the information available into consideration, the lower limit of discontinuous permafrost is situated near 2500 m in most of the Austrian Alps. These results can be used for modelling the permafrost distribution within a geographical information system. Detailed investi- gations were carried out in the Doesen Valley (Hohe Tauern range) using additional methods, including several geophysical soundings. In this way, realistic estimates of certain permafrost characteristics and the volume of a large active rock glacier (some 15x106m3) were possible. This rock glacier has been chosen as a monitoring site to observe the effects of past and future climatic change.

Kozjak and the Pohorje mountains. Three communities of the order Androsacetalia vandellii (Asplenietea trichomanis) were recognized: Campanulo cochleariifoliae-Primuletum villosae ass. nova (Androsacion vandellii ), Woodsio ilvensis-Asplenietum septentrionalis (Asplenion septentrionalis) and Hypno-Polypodietum (Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris). The communities are distinguished by altitude, light intensity, temperature and the number of endemic species, south-European orophytes or cosmopolite species. Altitude is a signifi cant factor aff ecting the fl oristic composition of the studied vegetation. Keywords: chasmophytic

Slovenia is a story of love, a love of being active in nature, which is almost second nature to Slovenians. In every large town or village, you can enjoy a view of green hills or Alpine peaks, and almost every Slove- nian loves to put on their hiking boots and yell out a hurrah in the embrace of the mountains. Thenew guidebook will show you the most beauti- ful hiking trails around Slovenia and tips on how to prepare for hiking, what to experience and taste, where to spend the night, and how to treat yourself after a long day of hiking. Save the dates of the biggest hiking celebrations in Slovenia – the Slovenia Hiking Festivals. Indeed, Slovenians walk always and everywhere. We are proud to celebrate 120 years of the Alpine Associati- on of Slovenia, the biggest volunteer organisation in Slovenia, responsible for maintaining mountain trails. Themountaineering culture and excitement about the beauty of Slovenia’s nature connects all generations, all Slovenian tourist farms and wine cellars. Experience this joy and connection between people in motion. This is the beginning of themighty Alpine mountain chain, where the mysterious Dinaric Alps reach their heights, and where karst caves dominate the subterranean world. There arerolling, wine-pro- ducing hills wherever you look, the Pannonian Plain spreads out like a carpet, and one can always sense the aroma of the salty Adriatic Sea.

  • The Achensee Region – Paradise for Nature Lovers and Holidaymakers in the Heart of Tirol
    Presse-Info Achensee, Tirols Sport & Vitalpark Winter & Summer 2018 and 2019 The Achensee region – paradise for nature lovers and holidaymakers in the heart of Tirol. Nestled in the breathtaking scenery of the Rofan and Karwendel Mountains is Tirol’s largest lake – Lake Achensee. The region around this natural gem is renowned for its unrivalled scenic beauty, while its wide range of sporting and leisure activities make it an enticing destination for visitors. Since the Achensee region was first opened up to tourists, it has become one of the most popular destinations for holidays and excursions in Tirol. In 1887 the first steam ship, the St. Josef, cast off onto the lake and the resultant Achensee Shipping Company remains a tourist magnet to this day. The same is also true of the historical Achensee railway. Every summer, year after year, this steam-powered cog railway puffs its way from Jenbach station towards Achensee, covering an incredible 400 metres in altitude over 6.7 km, with a maximum gradient of around 16 %. The towns and villages dotted around Lake Achensee have also long been popular for winter tourism. Gently undulating hills are particularly suitable for family skiing, while an extensive network of cross-country trails has helped to build the region’s reputation as the best cross-country skiing area in Tirol. The Achensee region also became famous for its “black gold” – Tiroler Steinöl®. This fossil oil has been mined in the region for over a century and has been used in the treatment of a wide variety of ailments. Lake Achensee – the Tirolean fjord When looking out over the dark blue waters of Lake Achensee and its unparalleled mountain backdrop, comparison with the fjords of Norway springs immediately to mind.
