Ennstal Visitor Center

Beneath the green waves of the visitor center, which symbolize the sea of forest at Kalkalpen National Park, you will find the adventure exhibition "Wunderwelt Waldwildnis" with forest cinema. The fascinating nature film "On the way to the forest wilderness" immerses you in the fairytale landscape of the Reichraminger Hintergebirge: secluded gorges, diverse forests and with black stork, bear and lynx as the main characters.
