Iseltrail: Tyrol's showcase project for sustainable water protection!
The Iseltrail in East Tyrol has pushed itself to the fore again and recently had been awarded for its outstanding efforts to use water. At the "Neptune Water Prize", the trail achieved the national victory in Tyrol and third place at the national level. Josef Geisler presented the award on May 30th in the presence of the Tourist Association East Tyrol.
The Neptune State Prize, which was awarded on the occasion of World Water Day at the end of March, stands for projects that deal intensively with the topic of water protection and sustainable management. The Iseltrail is not only a hiking trail, but also a pioneering project that indicates the importance of water resources in Tyrol. Geisler emphasized Tyrol's responsibility as a "alpine water lock", which makes it clear how important a sustainable handling of this precious resource is. The chairman of the East Tyrol Tourism Association, Franz Theurl, was also pleased with the award and emphasized the attractiveness of the trail.
an insight into the beauty and diversity of the trail
The Isseltrail extends over 80 kilometers and leads in five stages from the Isel mouth in Lienz to the majestic glacier world on the umbalkees. Along the way, hikers can discover breathtaking waterfalls, picturesque gorges and the unique alpine flora and fauna. The striking points include the Tamarisk island world, the Virgener Qataract and the magnificent ums in pre-graves. The hikers are invited to enjoy the untouched nature and at the same time raise awareness of water resources.
The drinking water fountain and rest areas that are available at every stage must be particularly highlighted. The use of disposable bottles becomes superfluous, which not only makes the trail environmentally friendly, but also convenient for hikers. The project also has climate -friendly mobility in focus: the free usable public transport strengthen the connection between the different destinations and accommodations.sustainable tourism in East Tyrol
