Protective forests in Austria - Forests protect us!
The importance of protective forests in Austria
The Alps characterise the landscape in Austria, covering over two thirds of the federal territory. As a result, the permanent settlement area in many regions is limited and located in the immediate vicinity of alpine hazards. Avalanches, torrents and rockfall areas cross important transport routes and border on historically developed living and economic areas.
