Iseltrail inspires with a state victory at the Neptune State Prize for Water!

Osttirol, Österreich - The Iseltrail in East Tyrol has vigorously gathered at the Neptune State Prize for Water. With the Tyrolean national victory in the water -regional category and third place in the federal ranking, this trail is not only a hiking highlight, but also a real prime example of sustainable water management. The award was presented on May 31, 2025 by Deputy Governor Josef Geisler to the East Tyrol tourism association, which can be proud of this recognition. The Iseltrail extends over around 80 kilometers and leads from the Isel mouth in Lienz to impressive Glacier world.

water -rich adventure

On the Iseltrail, hikers experience the variety of water landscapes. From rippling streams to roaring waterfalls to clear drinking water sources - the trail offers insights into one of the last freely flowing glacier flows of the Eastern Alps. There are drinking water fountain at every stage, which make it superfluous to carry one-way bottles. In addition, resting places near the bank invite you to linger and enable hikers to enjoy nature to the fullest.

Sustainability and ecology

The Isseltrail is more than just a hiking trail. It promotes the sustainable handling of water and is completely environmentally friendly. The initiative already uses existing paths and enables guests to explore the area in a climate -friendly manner - thanks to free public transport for mobility between the stage destinations and accommodations. The sustainable tourism is actively promoted.

a win for the region

The Iseltrail has established itself as a real success project. Some companies in the area have already generated almost 50 percent of their summer power from the new offer. The East Tyrol tourism association thus helps to strengthen the image of the region as a sustainable tourism destination. Locals and guests appreciate the natural local recreation area, which not only promises relaxation, but also conveys a feeling of deceleration.

All in all, the Iseltrail shows how well -thought -out nature conservation and tourist offers can go hand in hand. The award with the Neptune State Prize is only the final proof that East Tyrol is on the right track when it comes to sustainable nature experiences.
