Nockberge National Park – Swiss stone pine rooms in Bad Kleinkirchheim
Swiss stone pine, the stuff of holidaymakers’ dreams in Carinthia, is particularly common in the Nockberge National Park. Explore the magical natural landscapes surrounding the holiday resort of Bad Kleinkirchheim.
The name ‘Nockberge’ is derived from the word for gently rolling hilltops of crystalline rock or ‘Nocken’ in German. Today, the nature park covers 180 km2 of some of the oldest mountain regions in Austria. The natural treasure that is Bad Kleinkirchheim is a refuge for many protected species of plants and animals – including the Swiss stone pine.
This original mountain landscape of the Nockberge region is home to the world’s highest density of Swiss stone pines. You can explore these woods with guided walks or Nordic walking tours. Guided tours with a national park ranger are a highlight of the summer for many guests staying in one of the Swiss stone pine rooms. After spending a night in the beneficial atmosphere of a Swiss stone pine room, what could be better than a trip to see these dream-fulfilling trees growing in the wild.
In other areas, the Nockberge National Park remains in a completely natural state. The habitat is characterised by its untouched landscapes and fully-functioning ecosystem. Even the carefully farmed sections of the national park have their charm and stretch across gentle meadows and mystical woodlands.
