Duration: 3 hours and 30 minutes (including various, uncounted breaks)
Length: 11 km

Alleine schon Österreich 🇦🇹 🇪🇺 droht aufgrund der schnellen Klimaerhitzung im EUSALP-Alpenraum 272 Schutzhütten und 50.000 km Wanderwege zu verlieren. Auch nimmt der Wassermangel in den Bergen schnell zu. #Österreich #Alpen #Klimakrise #Alpenhütten #Wanderwege #Wassermangel #Wasserkrise https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/warum-der-sueddeutsche-gebirgsraum-besonders-stark-unter-der-klima-und-wasserkrise-leidet/#comment-158015
