Plant & animal kingdom of the Karneralm
Discover the power of nature and preserve for everyday life
Gently nestling in the Lungau Nockberg mountains, in the counties border triangle Salzburg – Styria – Corinthia, the Karneralm has preserved its original character. And it’s exactly this that nature-lovers and peace-seekers appreciate most. Above all in summer there’s plenty to explore on a nature holiday. The unique mountain landscape is characterized by green alpine meadows with tree-free peaks, clear mountain streams and colourful alpine flowers. Not just people but animals enjoy living around the mountain village all year round.
