With its valuable old forests and primeval beech forests, Kalkalpen National Park is the most important national forest park in the Alps. More than 10,000 species of animals, plants and fungi can be found in these mixed deciduous forests dominated by beech trees. With an area of 5,252 hectares, Kalkalpen National Park is not only the largest beech forest reserve in the Alps, it is also home to the oldest beech tree with a proud age of over 550 years. Around half of the forest in Kalkalpen National Park is made up of deciduous forests. In addition to small-scale alluvial forests, swamp forests and ravine forests, these are mainly made up of beech forests.
