Insurance package strengthens Carinthia's alpine farmers: Security for humans and animals!
Especially in times when alpine pasture and tourism move closer together, Carinthia is launching a new insurance package that provides massive relief to the alpine farmers and path holders. Deputy Governor Martin Gruber and Tourism Councilor Sebastian Schuschnig emphasize that this package not only offers farmers financial security, but also strengthens traditional alpine pasture from which tourism benefits. The goal is clear: a stable and safe co-existence of humans and animals on the beautiful alpine pastures in our region.
The comprehensive insurance package covers many areas that are of great importance for farmers. This includes mainly incidents between farm animals and hikers and cyclists, who can often lead to disputes. Legal protection insurance is also offered for the cosmen and members of the Almwirtschaftsverein Carinthia. An animal owner liability insurance is also included in the package for members, and even for non-members. This protects against possible claims for damages by hikers and mountain bikers who could injure themselves, for example, in an accident with animals or on hiking trails.
Financing and scope of insurance coverage
The financial aspects of this program are also remarkable. The state of Carinthia takes over the annual insurance premiums of around 60,000 euros. This is done via the agricultural and tourism department to ensure broad support for the alpine farmers. In detail, insurance cover includes the protection of property damage and personal injury as well as organizer liability insurance for alpine pastures and hiking days. In this way, farmers and path holders can organize events without having to be afraid of financial losses.
- organic liability insurance for the members of the alpine pastry association
- pet owner liability insurance for members and non-members
- Insurance coverage for over 900 official hiking routes
- Protection against damage caused by animals on properly parked cars
The insurance companies are designed in such a way that they apply not only to alpine farmers, but also to path holders. This is particularly important to minimize the conflicts between landowners and tourism representatives. The alpine farmers play a central role in the care of the cultural landscape, which in turn benefits tourism, which is so popular in these regions.
final thoughts
The new insurance package is therefore an important course for the future of alpine pasture in Carinthia. It not only ensures the well -being of the alpine farmers, but also for the safety of hikers and cyclists. This example shows how important it is to find solutions in a common and supportive cooperation. The country's support could help stop emigration from rural areas and increase appreciation for the alpine farmers. The beautiful Carinthia will continue to remain a popular destination for nature lovers and pleasure lovers.
