Urfahr-Umgebung: Make the region alive with leader projects

The LEADER regions in the Urfahr area are fully vigor for increasing the quality of life in the region in a variety of ways. Thanks to European grants, various projects are launched that benefit the citizens and strengthen the community. A particularly remarkable example is the recently opened farmers in Rottenegg, which enables residents to buy fresh food every day and thus promote local care.

Overall, the Urfahr West region will be available to implement initiatives in the current funding period by 2027 to implement initiatives. Creative ideas come from the citizens themselves, because, like Sigrid Gillmayr, managing director of U.We, emphasizes: "The special thing about leader is that everyone can submit their ideas." This is a great opportunity for people in the region to actively participate in the design of their surroundings.

large number of projects and initiatives

The modernized youth home in Geng, which serves as a central meeting point for local young people, is one of the other currently implemented projects. This not only creates space for leisure activities, but also strengthens the community. In addition, a total of 24 weather stations are being built in cooperation with local farmers. These stations are not only useful for farmers who want to improve their irrigation plans and harvest forecasts, but also for the communities who receive information for weather warnings.

Another exciting project is the establishment of a coworking spaces in the Rodltal in Gramastetten, which provides flexible jobs. Such initiatives are important for the region because they offer space for new, innovative forms of work.

The Sterngartl Gusental region focused in the topics of energy and cycling in particular last year. Numerous information evenings were organized here to clarify renewable energies and to promote the establishment of renewable energy communities. On October 29, a meeting of the Arge energy communities will take place in Alberndorf to enable the exchange among the active. A subsequent climate network meeting offers other interested parties the opportunity to exchange ideas about climate and energy projects.

In terms of cycling, the region is particularly proud of the newly created mountain bike region, which connects over 17 communities. This includes exciting new projects such as the bike technology course in Kirchschlag and the Roadlberg trails in Ottenschlag, which were opened this autumn.

The LEADER regions are not only an example of effective regional development, but also show how important it is that citizens actively participate in the design of their homeland. These initiatives are one of the many puzzle pieces that contribute to the attractiveness and liveliness of the Urfahr area.
