!!!Nationalpark Hohe Tauern

Hohe Tauern National Park: Even before 1918 ideas were discussed 
concerning the establishment of a nature preserve in the Austrian 
Alps. On October 21, 1971, Carinthia, Salzburg and Tirol agreed upon 
the foundation of the Hohe Tauern National Park in the "Three 
Provinces´ Agreement of Heiligenblut". In 1983 Carinthia and 
Salzburg passed respective laws, Tirol followed in 1991. Arrangements 
were made with about 1100 landowners, representatives of the 
power-producing, mining and tourist industries. The Hohe Tauern 
National Park comprises 1,788 km%%sup 2/% (Carinthia: 
372 km%%sup 2/%, Salzburg: 805 km%%sup 2/%, Tirol: 
610 km%%sup 2/%); it is the largest park in the Alpine region and 
encompasses 304 mountains higher than 3,000m and 246 glaciers.
