Trees

IN KALKALPEN NATIONAL PARK

Trees are the largest and most dominant living organisms in Kalkalpen National Park, even if the observer often cannot see the individual tree for the forest. All tree species of the natural spectrum are present in the national park; there are no alien species (neophytes) among the trees.

The forestKalkalpen National Park has an extraordinarily high diversity of woody plants. There are 32 species of trees and over 50 different types of shrubs to discover. In terms of trees, this corresponds to half of all 65 tree species found in Austria! Among the shrubs, four species of honeysuckle, seven different wild roses, wild currants and two species of juniper bushes have been recorded to date. Among the shrubs, the rock pear(Amelanchier ovalis), which blooms in spring, has particularly attractive flowers.
