Learning from nature

For the first time, workshops can now be booked at the new ‘rangerlabs’, and the motto is ‘learning from nature’. Our ‘rangerlabs’ are research laboratories where you can explore, experiment and conduct all sorts of tests under the supervision of our National Park Rangers.

The ‘rangerlabs’ workshops offer three exciting topics:

"inspiration nature"

"concrete climate"

"herbs"

Prices:

rangerlab adults: € 15.00

rangerlab children (aged 6 to 15) and pupils: € 9.00

rangerlabs can also be booked by groups (8 or more).

Registration by 4 pm the previous day is required for rangerlabs on set dates during the summer months. These can also be booked by individual participants.

At present the rangerlabs workshops are available in German only. For groups, we do also offer outdoor guided tours in the National Park in English. For more information -> CONTACT

inspiration nature

What are bionics? How is it that a larch tree is able to withstand the wind? What can we learn from bearded vultures, hawks and marmots? Together we’ll explore nature’s ingenious tricks and come up with ideas for new technological achievements.

rangerlab

concrete climate

What is climate and how do the seasons actually occur? Why is the forest a ‘climate protector’? What causes landslides, mudslides and rockfalls, and what does it have to do with climate change? Simulations and experimental stations provide an introduction to a world full of exciting enigmas involving the weather and the climate.

"herbs"

What kind of plants grow in the National Park? How can they be used? In the laboratory we’ll process plants collected beforehand and then scrutinise them under a magnifying glass. Together we’ll study the exciting world of herbs from the Hohe Tauern National Park.
