Meadow landscape

Forest landscape

A large part of the near-natural habitats in the nature park area lies in the forests. They contain the entire spectrum of forest location types and societies in the northern peripheral Alps. It ranges from the peat-forming alder quarry forest of the moraine and boggy gray alder -spruce quarry forest in the flysch to mixed mountain forests, some of which are not influenced by forestry, to the xerothermal carbonate pine forest on the west and south-facing steep slopes of the Kieneck and Kofel , as well as the subalpine spruce forests in the ridges.
