Geology and particularities

The Türnitz and Traisen valleys are characterized by their steep valley flanks , which leave little space for settlements, and have high water quality. The summit regions are largely forested, only on the more well-known excursion mountains such as Eibl and Tirolerkogel are larger areas covered by alpine pastures.
