Guided tours & excursions in the Dürrenstein-Lassingtal Wilderness Area
We make nature an experience for people! Despite strict protection measures, we also want to awaken an understanding for such protected areas.
THE DÜRRENSTEIN-LASSINGTAL WILDNESS AREA: Experience the pure wilderness!
Wild forests await you! At the foot of the Dürrenstein you will find a protected area rich in trees and species and one of the last primeval forests in Europe.
The 7,000-hectare wilderness area Dürrenstein-Lassingtal is located half in southwestern Lower Austria and half in Styria. The wilderness area preserves the largest remnant of primeval forest in Central Europe and is considered a strictly protected nature reserve.
Ancient trees & forest wilderness
In 2017, Austria's only wilderness area, the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area, was declared by UNESCO as the first World Natural Heritage Site in Austria. This unique protected area is thus in line with the Grand Canyon, the Yellowstone National Park or the Dolomites.
Visitors can explore the wilderness area on guided tours and excursions, which also provide a view of the Rothwald, or on the official hiking trails.
