Aufgehorcht #005 Bergbau: Vom harten Leben und den Wunden der Berge - von früher bis heute

Der Nationalpark Hohe Tauern schützt heute eine scheinbar unberührte Hochgebirgslandschaft. Doch unter Almwiesen, Gletschern und Geröllfeldern verbirgt sich eine jahrtausendealte Geschichte von Bergbau, technischer Innovation – und massiven Eingriffen in die Natur.

Aufgehorcht #003: Wie das Hochgebirge spricht

Langzeitmonitoring im Nationalpark Hohe Tauern

Diese Folge führt mitten hinein in das einzigartige Langzeitmonitoring des Nationalparks Hohe Tauern. Was verraten Pflanzen, Böden und hochalpine Seen über den Klimawandel – und wie misst man Veränderungen, die oft erst nach Jahrzehnten sichtbar werden?

Glacier retreat in figures
The Hohe Tauern National Park is characterised by (still) large glacier areas, which are also being studied more closely by scientists, as in the case of the Mullwitzkees in the Venediger Group. The mass balance for 2024/2025 shows a consistently high rate of melting – details can be found in the report at:

A woman with two sick kids (fever and coughing) had to sleep in our dorm at Lienzer Hütte, because she couldn't descent further, so our sleep wasn't too restorative. Nevertheless we continued our adventure "crossing of the Alps" on day seven. After a diverting hike to the Wangenitzseehütte (2508 m), the highest situated Alpine hut in the Schober group, we attempted the climb to the top of Petzeck (3283 m) to finally get our first three-thousand-metre mountain done. However, rather sooner than later our concentration was used up, so with a heavy heart we turned around at roughly 2900 m, descended back down to the hut and took a swim in the cold lake.

Duration: 2 hours and 45 minutes to Wangenitzseehütte and another 3 hours and 10 minutes up and down the Petzeck (both including breaks)
Length: 6 km to Wangenitzseehütte + 4 km up and down the Petzeck
Elevation: 1970 m to 2925 m
Ascent/Descent: 1000 m ↑ and 450 m ↓

Longest stage on day six of our crossing of the Alps. We hiked from Glorer Hütte (2651 m) via Peischlachtörl (2490 m), Gernot-Röhr-Biwak (2926 m), Elberfelder Hütte (2346 m) and Gößnitzscharte (2737 m) to Lienzer Hütte (1977 m) into the heart of the Schober group. As we knew beforehand that this day would be rather long, the discussion about climbing the Böses Weibl (3121 m) at the Gernot-Röhr-Biwak was settled quickly. We skipped it and the second chance to climb our first three-thousand-metre mountain went out the window. In hindsight this was not the wrong decision, because we then would have missed out on dinner at the Lienzer Hütte. We enjoyed watching different marmots along the way and even captured a decent photo of one.

Duration: 9 hours and 45 minutes (including various breaks)
Length: 15.6 km
Elevation: 1970 m to 2926 m
Ascent/Descent: 1050 m ↑ and 1725 m ↓

After a good nights sleep at the quiet Pasterzenhaus, an auxiliary building to the Glocknerhaus, we were welcomed by warm sunlight in the morning on the fifth day of our crossing of the Alps. About roughly 90 minutes into the tour we reached the Obere Stockerscharte with a perfect view back onto the Glaciers. From there on we saw many marmots on both sides of the hiking path - unfortunately no good photos! - till we reached the Salmhütte. After we refilled our stomachs and continued for a another one and a half hour, we ended the hike in the early afternoon at the Glorer Hütte (2642 metres).

Duration: 4 hours and 15 minutes (excluding some smaller breaks accumulating to 30 minutes and an hour long lunch break at the Salmhütte)
Length: 10.5 km
Elevation: 2000 m to 2665 m
Ascent/Descent: 960 m ↑ and 450 m ↓

We had changeable weather on the fourth day of our crossing of the Alps - moderate rain, dense fog, chill wind and some rays of sunshine sprinkled in between. The landscape tried to match the variety of the weather, from Alpine meadows at the Trauneralm to large scree fields near the Untere Pfandlscharte and the rather busy Pasterzenhaus at the Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße. During a short break in the Untere Pfandlscharte, we decided against ascending even further to the top of the Spielmann, because it was already cold and very(!) windy. Sadly this meant we missed the chance to climb our first three-thousand-metre mountain.

Duration: 5 hours and 30 minutes (including various breaks)
Length: 9 km
Elevation: 1522 m to 2663 m
Ascent/Descent: 1230 m ↑ and 610 m ↓
