New nature park center in Rosalia-Kogelberg: education for everyone!
In the picturesque Rosalia-Kogelberg region, an important step is being taken to promote education and nature experiences: the groundbreaking ceremony for Burgenland's first nature park center took place in the presence of numerous personalities. "The Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park is the first nature park in Burgenland with its own center. This is a project close to our hearts," explained Deputy Governor Astrid Eisenkopf. The new center, which is being built on an area of around 500 m², will offer a modern information and exhibition area for schools, kindergartens and interested visitors burgenland.at reported. The financing is partly supported by the state of Burgenland to the amount of around 1.1 million euros.
In addition to the nature park center, the Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park today presented five new projects that will be implemented as part of a comprehensive plan to strengthen the nature park. These include, among other things, a new nature adventure playground called “Zwergohreule” and the planned “Eulenweg”, an approximately 80 km long hiking trail that connects the 13 nature park communities. These initiatives aim to raise awareness about biodiversity and conservation, such as meinkreis.at reported. Managing director Marlene Hrabanek-Bunyai explained that the projects should also appeal to younger generations through digital visitor guidance systems and interactive nature experiences.
An innovative concept for the region
The new nature park center will not only create a place for education, but also a space for regional products and gastronomy. The outdoor area of the center will be designed to be barrier-free and in the future will also offer visitors bicycle rentals and e-charging stations. In addition, a natural playground will be established to convey the teaching content in a playful way. Kurt Fischer, chairman of the nature park, emphasizes that this represents a big step towards an integrative nature and environmental experience. The nature park is easy to reach by public transport, making travel easier for visitors.
Overall, the nature park projects and the new center together form a platform to promote nature conservation and regional development and are intended to further enrich the tourist offering in Burgenland. With the tireless efforts of local authorities and funding from the state of Burgenland and the European Union, the Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park will become a showcase project in the region.
