Iseltrail shines: Tyrol's hiking trail for sustainable water protection excellent

Lienz, Österreich - The Iseltrail in East Tyrol recently won the national victory in the renowned "Neptune Water Prize". During the ceremonial handover in Lienz, which was carried out by Josef Geisler, the importance of the trail was particularly pointed out for a sustainable handling of water. The Neptune State Prize, which was awarded at the end of March on the occasion of World Water Day, is an award that goes to projects every two years that work for the protection and sustainable use of water.

The Isseltrail received first place in the water -regional category and secured third place in the overall ranking at the federal level. The official award was handed over to the East Tyrol tourism association on May 30th. Josef Geisler emphasized Tyrol's responsibility as an alpine water lock and emphasized how important it was to protect the water resources. This also becomes clear by promoting the trail project, which not only puts the beauty of nature, but also the awareness of sustainable water use.

The Iseltrail: A special nature experience

The Isseltrail extends over 80 kilometers and leads on five stages from the Isel mouth in Lienz to the glacier world on the umbalkees. Along the way, hikers have the opportunity to experience impressive water landscapes - including waterfalls, gorges and drinking water sources. Particularly noteworthy are the Tamarisca island world, the Virgener cataract and the circumstances of the circumstances in pre-graves. Each stage site offers drinking water wells and rest areas, which means that disposable bottles can be dispensed with on the go.

The Tourismus Association East Tyrol has also made existing hiking trails in an environmentally friendly way and strengthens the image of East Tyrol as a sustainable tourism destination with the Iseltrail. This is also reflected in the number of overnight stays, since some companies generate up to 50 percent of their summer power over the new offer of the trail.

sustainability in focus

The project relies on sustainability and promotes climate -friendly mobility. The hikers can travel free of charge between stage destinations and accommodations. This initiative is part of a broader movement in tourism towards more sustainable use of resources. According to experts, this is particularly important to master the challenges of water management in the tourism sector and find solutions for a future -proof development.

The Isseltrail is now a flagship product for sustainable nature experiences in Tyrol and has the potential to establish East Tyrol as a slowdown and recreational region. Locals and guests appreciate the beauty of the original river landscape and the opportunity to recover in nature.
