Abstract
In Hohe Tauern National Park one of the last post-glacial virgin landscapes in the central Eastern Alps was designated as a protected area. It is the largest national park in Central Europe and includes a significant section of the Austrian Central Alps shaped by glaciers and glacial periods. Its highly diverse flora and fauna is representative for all altitudinal zones of the Eastern Alps. Two thirds of the total area of 1 856 km² are designated as core zone and represent a natural landscape almost totally free of human intervention. Hohe Tauern National Park was founded in Carinthia in 1981, in Salzburg in 1984 and in Tyrol in 1992.
