The nature reserve north-western part of the municipality of Ramsau am Dachstein is a protected area on the Dachstein massif in Styria , in the municipality of Ramsau .

Location and landscape

The area is in the triangle of Styria, Upper Austria and Salzburg . It covers 1287.5  hectares , which is about ⅙ of the municipal area (7533 hectares). The protected area extends from the Salzburg state border in the source area of ​​the Kalten Mandling (Mühlehneralm,  1147  m above sea level ) across the Türlwaldhütte - Austriahütte area to the Dachsteinhauptkamm (Upper Austrian border) from Torstein over the Dachstein summit  ( 2995  m ) and Hunerkogel to Koppenkarstein , and as an east point on the Hohe Gamsfeldspitze .

History and scope of protection

The area was designated in 1972 (LGBl. 140/1972), in the category of "Locations and demarcated habitats of plants or animal species that are worthy of protection or endangered" (NSG c, according to § 5 Z. 2 lit. c Nature Conservation Act 1976 - NschG) . It is declared as a conservation area for plants ( plant protection area , which is not a separate class in Styria) that “all actions are to be avoided which are likely to damage or endanger the plant population ; In particular, it is forbidden to remove plants or parts of plants and to change the design or the nature of the soil. ”(§ 2).

The area also belongs to the Dachstein – Salzkammergut landscape protection area  ( Salzkammergut-Ost , LS 14a ), and is therefore protected against all adverse effects on the landscape, and also falls into the buffer zone of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Hallstatt – Dachstein / Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape  ( WHS 806 ). The entire northern half of the protected area is also designated as natural monuments , namely the Dachstein south wall in the west and the Dachstein south slope and Edelgrieß glacier in the east ( NDM No. 783, 784 ).

In Upper Austria, the Dachstein Europe and nature reserve ( bird protection and FFH area , AT3101000 / EU02 , N098 ) borders, and Salzburg has not yet placed it under protection.

Development

The area can be reached via the Dachsteinstraße toll road. The Dachstein-Südwandbahn cable car runs through the protected area, which is also a landmark of the Ennstal today . At the summit station on the Hunerkogel, the Dachstein Skywalk was built in 2005 , a viewing platform that protrudes into the south walls and thus offers an extraordinary overview of the protected area.
