Project summary:

The project aimed to raise awareness about the extraordinary fauna and flora of the region and disseminate information to the region in Lower Austria, Vienna and the Czech Republic. As a first step, educational activities targeted the local population of Schmidatal and Retzerland. The second main step of the project was to develop a touristic offer based on the natural resources of the area with the contribution of the local communities.

The community of Sitzendorf developed a competence centre for natural resources and biodiversity and through the marketing of tourism, nature lovers from Austria as and the Czech Republic were made aware of the attractions of the region.
