Meet a Ranger

The National Park Rangers are considered the figurehead of the National Park - after all, they know "their" valley like the back of their hand. In summer you have the opportunity to meet our National Park Rangers in the National Park valleys from Krimml to Hüttschlag!

Learn more about the natural resources in the National Park and get to know its unique flora and fauna. Get to know the people who protect our National Park and learn how you can preserve these treasures for future generations.
