Frohnleiten (private); Schoenbuehel an der Donau (Wachauer 
Alpengarten); Alpinum beim Ottohaus (Rax Mountain); in the Botanical 
Gardens of Vienna, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck (Hoetting) and Klagenfurt; 
Alpinum Dortmunder Huette (Kuehtai); Alpine garden on the Hahnenkamm

The Alpine garden of the University of Innsbruck on Patscherkofel 
mountain (alt. 1,905-1,945 m) was built 1930-1935 under A. 
Sperlich and A. Pisek, after the first high Alpine garden in Austria 
had been built near the peak of Blaser mountain in 1875 (closed in 
1898).
