		Schwarzach-St. Veit is the junction for Badgastein and the Tauern Railway.
		The chief obstacle in building the line was the surmounting of the massive mountain range, the High Tauern, which was overcome by the driving of a tunnel 5 miles 551 yards in length before the construction of the line was undertaken.
		On the north side of the Tauern range it rises 2,083 ft., and On the south side 2,251 ft. The highest point of the line is reached in the Tauern Tunnel (4,022 ft.), and the steepest gradient is 1 in 37.

		This requires, that eclogites, which actually have high densities, are enclosed within rather light, acidic crustal rocks, which again are surrounded by heavy rocks of the earths mantle, causing their exhumation.
		The essential part of the Ph.D. study was the investigation of the relationship between the deformation during nappe stacking and high pressure eclogite and blueschist facies metamorphism.
		This included substantial field studies to elaborate the relative sequence of deformational events, especially of the sequence of brittle deformations, and the relationship of faulting and the formation of gold- and sulphide-bearing quartz veins.

		The Decline of Ethnodiversity in High Mountain Regions: the Rhaetoromansch Minority in Grisons, Switzerland
		In Austria the Hohe Tauern National Park represents a high mountain area which combines a diversified alpine landscape and ecosystem with the century-old traditions of local population.
		The need for further studies on ethno-linguistic groups and minorities in high mountain areas is indicated and comparative research on ethno-diversity is urgently needed to make recommendations for the stabilization and survival of a diversity of ethno linguistic populations.

		The Hohe Tauern National Park nestles between the Austrian provinces of Carinthia, Tyrol and Salzburg.
		The roman writer Pliny calculated that the highest mountain must have been “50.000 double steps high”; i.e., about 70.000 metres in modern figures.
		The National Park´s real attractions is nature in all its splendour, starting with the Grossglockner, Austria´s highest peak: 3.800metres high, first conquered in 1.800, and still a challenge for even the most experienced climbers.

		The “Tauern Pass Routes Over the Alps” exhibition is a special show on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road.
		The pack-animal routes over the high Tauern passes thus lost their importance; only towards the end of the Roman occupation, and with the dilapidation of the roads, were they again used more intensively.
		The Tauern today are to the same extent a recuperation area, the centre of tourist activities and the target of numerous research projects.

		The Hohe Tauern National Park embraces a range of alpine habitats from montane woodlands to the highest peaks of the Eastern Alps (Grossglockner 3 798 m).
		Geologically, the Hohe Tauern National Park lies within the so-called ´Tauern Window´, a region of the Alps that is formed mainly from metamorphic rocks.
		The Hohe Tauern National Park, together with the bordering Nature Park Rieserferner-Ahrn (Autonomous Province of Bozen) and also the bordering Zillertal Alps Nature Park (Tyrol), form the largest spatially integrated nature reserve of the Alps.

		The high mean elevations of the crystalline blocks west of the Tauern window are due to Southalpine lower crust indentation.
		We consider the highly elevated paleosurface relics (e.g., Nock surface in the Austroalpine basement realm east of the Tauern window, planation surfaces in the peak region of Koralpe and Saualpe, pre-Augenstein paleosurface in the Northern Calcareous Alps) as remnants of large Paleogene planation surfaces.
		Assuming Miocene tectonics between the Niedere Tauern and the Gurktal Alps to be relatively cold' we have mapped mainly strike-slip faults with a brittle behaviour.

		The high altitude (2330m) ensures great snow conditions and the well groomed slopes are seldom very crowded.

		Austria's territory stretches from the high mountains of the Alps in the west of the country to the low and plain fields of the East.
		It may be divided into 5 different areas with the biggest portion constituting the Austrian Alps with 62 percent of total Austria (Out of the total area of Austria (84,000 kmÂ²) only about a quarter can be considered low lying, and only 32 percent of the country is below 500 metres).
		With over half of the country dominated by the Alps the alpine cimate is the predominate one.

		The elongated village of Rohrmoos-Untertal stretches from the High Alpine Region of the Tauern mountain range to the outskirts of Schladming and is situated in the heart of the Dachstein Tauern Region.
		An important era in the history of the village was mountain mining in the Schladming Tauern region, which had its heyday between the 14th and 16th century.
		As an overhang of the Ice-Age, this numerously terraced high corrie conceals around 30 lakes and is known as the king of tours in the Tauern region.

		The Grossglockner, at 3797m (12457ft) the highest peak in the Austrian Alps, should be clearly visible to the south.
		The harder walk ascends past the falls to the valley beyond and the Seekarsee, a small lake, high on the rocky mountainside.
		The easier walk makes a circuit of the valley, starting high on the south side and descending through woods to the head, before a gentle descent through pastures to the village by the lake.

		There are two high speed chairs plus two pomas that service the top half of Reiteralm and a Gondola and a slow double that service the bottom.

		Higher regions, such as the Hohe Tauern National Park, the Nock Mountains with Bad Kleinkirchheim, Lake Millstatt and the Lieser/Malta Valleys, Carinthia’s Nature Arena with Lake Weiss and the Carnic Alps, and the Karawanken are much frequented by mountain bikers.
		Road racing is a real pursuit on high alpine panoramic routes, such as the Glockner and Nockalm.
		Joggers and walkers may find themselves rubbing shoulders near the lakes: Lake Wörth for example has the temptation of a cider trail, Lakes Millstatt and Weiss idyllic undeveloped shorelines, and along the Lavant and Drau the sound of water is a welcome accompaniment.
