A plan is needed to promote the development of a nature park region in a targeted manner.
Landscapes teeming with life – these words best describe the diverse character of the nature parks in Austria and Lower Austria.
Landscape areas designated as nature parks are cultural and natural landscapes that are protected, preserved and further developed primarily through their sustainable use.
The focus of nature parks in Lower Austria is based on the pillars of #conservation, #recreation, #education and #regional development.
To ensure structured and forward-looking development within a nature park, the Lower Austrian Nature Conservation Act stipulates that each nature park must draw up a nature park concept, which includes an assessment of the natural environment, a landscape management and development plan, a tourism concept, the nature park’s contribution to regional development, and plans for information, education and recreational facilities.
