Tiroler Lech

Nature Park

Description & Map

Summary

A nature reserve is the strongest large-scale protection category. In Germany, it is based on federal law and in Austria on state law. The common goals are to preserve the original landscape, protect rare, endangered, or characteristic animals and plants, and conserve areas of special scientific and ecological interest.

Description

The Tyrolean Lech Nature Park is located in the Northern Limestone Alps, nestled between two mighty mountain ranges – the Lechtal Alps in the southeast and the Allgäu Alps in the northwest. Covering an area of 41.38 km², the protected area essentially comprises the wild Lech River with its adjacent floodplains and riparian forests, the most important tributaries, and parts of mixed mountain forests. The Tyrolean Lech Nature Park is thus the largest contiguous protected area in the Tyrolean valley region, whose natural landscape is mainly characterized by the wild Lech River.
