Themes that (among other things) are worked on together: 

• Representation of small farmers’ interests
• Species-appropriate cattle feeding: The importance of meadows for biodiversity, the landscape and animal-friendly feeding in contrast to concentrated feed. 
• The genius of native fruit trees: they yield a lot with little effort. Starting with the cherries in spring, the Bergsimon farm had its own fruit all year round. Christine and her family are working to ensure self-sufficiency again throughout the year.
• Importance of small farms for the region, society and food sovereignty in general

Schedule (10:00 – 16:00):

• Introductions – who is all here 
• Farm presentation incl. tour of the farm 
• preparing dough together for farmer’s doughnuts, delivering potato or pumpkin soup
• Preparing must/juice pressing – collecting fruit together, setting up machine
• Lunch – farmer’s doughnuts and soup
• juice pressing (with hydraulic juice press) incl. direct tasting

Max. number of participants: 10 – 12 persons
Participation only after registration by email to: veranstaltung@viacampesina.at

Excursion #2 with Chief Forester Fritz Wolf and the Almtal Forest School

Forest of the future—playful introduction to the WWW (Wald-Wunder-Welt)
The renaturalisation of forestry, 40 years in the making, can be experienced in the forest with the forester. Drought, storms, heat, bark beetles – climate change is affecting our forests! On this walk through the forest, we observe the soil, shrubs, herbs, small creatures – and the trees. Together we will consider what this forest will look like in 10, 50 or 100 years. What should the forest of the future look like? This will be discussed in detail.
Meeting point: Waldschule Almtal; Scharnstein, Fischerbühel; 10 am.
Duration 2 to 3 hours.

Excursion #3 with hiking guide and herb educator Sabina Haslinger

Off to Alpine paradise!
We hike small Alpine paradises together! On the way through the marvellous landscape, we learn all kinds of interesting and unusual facts about mountains, alpine pastures, forests & plants and can experience nature with all our senses. The fairy-tale & fabulously beautiful nature lets us forget everyday life. We can breathe a sigh of relief and recharge our batteries. A special experience is singing yodelling and juchitzing together. Together we breathe new life into this old alpine culture! 
Meeting point: Pfarrhof, Grünau im Almtal, 10 am.
Duration 2 to 3 hours.

Excursion #4 with geologist Dr. Johannes Weidinger

How was the Almsee formed?
A gigantic natural event took place around the Jagasimmerl, where a once mighty glacier was melting at the end of the late ice age around 15,000 years ago: 500 million cubic metres of Dachstein limestone came loose in the rear Hetzau not far from the Großer Priel (2515 m) and formed a mass that left a trail of devastation stretching for kilometres. Here, at the confluence with the Almtal, this “landslide in the Almtal” split, merged with river sediments out of the valley and formed a bar upstream, creating the Almsee. This lake, which was originally probably more than twice as large as it is today, was filled in with river sediment over the millennia by the alluvial fan of the Weißeneckbach in the Schwarzenbrunn area and significantly reduced in size.
Meeting point: Car park at Jagasimmerl, Grünau im Almtal, 10 am.
Duration 2 to 3 hours.
Curious? naturschauspiel.at/guides/weidinger-johannes

Excursion #5 with ornithologist Dr Josef Hemetsberger

Flapping and chattering in the Almtal
What did behavioural research mean in the days of Konrad Lorenz and what does it mean today? How and by whom did the flock of greylag geese come to the Almtal? How do you behave when observing wild animals? How and why are birds ringed? We gain access to the specialist knowledge about animal species at the Konrad Lorenz Research Centre (KLF), a scientific institution of the University of Vienna. We explore the way of life, behaviour and special features of the research centre’s model species in a technically sound but comprehensible way and immerse ourselves in part of the Almtal’s history.
Meeting point: Fischerau 11, Grünau im Almtal, 10 am
Duration 2 to 3 hours.
Abschluss – Gastronomy in the Cumberland Wildlife Park

Excursion #6 with forest educator and local historian Wolfgang Rab

To the forest paradise
On our hike in the forest paradise in the Almtal valley, we not only discover the healing powers of trees for us humans and learn how to “breathe deeply” in the forest atmosphere, but also learn lots of useful and interesting facts about the biodiversity of trees, plants and animals. On our expedition, we take a closer look at this diverse habitat and the deciduous trees typical of the nature reserve, as well as prominent conifers. Alder, ash, spruce and mountain pine – to name just a few – will reveal their secrets to us.
Meeting point: Grünau im Almtal, Gasthof Seehaus car park, by the lime tree; 10 am.
Duration 2 to 3 hours.

Excursion #7 with herbalist and water instructor Maria Hageneder

Enjoying nature on the Alm river
We hike leisurely along the Almuferweg trail and walk through it as if we were in a large open-air nature spa. Our hike is always along the alpine pasture or by the alpine lake, where we not only learn about the five elements of Kneipp therapy for a healthy life in theory, but also experience them with body and soul. As we Kneipp through the forest along the beautiful green alpine river, we utilise the forces of nature for our health and well-being. We enjoy water treatments, get moving in a playful way, learn about medicinal herbs and think about a beneficial diet.
Meeting point: Grünau im Almtal; Pfarrhof, 10 am.

Michaela Jancsy and Reingard Prohaska cultivate 50 different vegetable crops for 85 harvest shares on an area of one hectare of land and three greenhouses right next to the “Green Earth World”. Conserving resources, working in harmony with nature and supplying the region with high-quality, healthy and diverse organic vegetables are top priorities. 

On this farm day, we can find out how solidarity farming is run and what goals are pursued. What are the conclusions of two women who have started their own farming business? How can you grow vegetables in times of advancing weather extremes?  

Programme

• Get together and introduce yourself
• Get to know the farm and make an organic herb butter
• Depending on the weather, cultivate in the field or in the greenhouse and/or sow and plant together
• Taste seasonal vegetables in the Grüne Erde Bistro. If you’re feeling peckish at lunchtime, you can buy something in the bistro or bring something with you.
• Learn about field ecosystems and above- and below-ground field dwellers.

Robert farms 20 hectares of rounded arable land and produces almost everything his 1,800 laying hens need to feed themselves. He sells 90% of his eggs to wholesalers and the rest of his products to neighbouring organic shops and selected FoodCoops. In his constant endeavour to refine his farming methods in terms of agroecology, Robert took the step a few years ago to switch to Turiel dam culture 

What is dam culture? What do laying hens eat to do well? Why fewer branches is sometimes more? We can answer these and other questions together with Robert on 4 May. 

Outline of the day (10 am – 4 pm)

The post Open Water Dialogues appeared first on Salzkammergut 2024.

It is a difficult and time-consuming endeavour to put theoretical and practical knowledge about proven building techniques into practice in your own house. With our  “house visits” in several selected buildings in the Salzkammergut, the workshop participants enter into an exciting dialogue with the respective builders/residents, who also report on the unintentional mistakes and hoppalas when building themselves. However, these  “blurbs” are not a problem, in fact, they are almost an integral part of the concept of  “Simple Smart Buildings”.

Simple Smart Buildings 

What materials and techniques have been used in the past to build resilient homes? Which of these construction methods have proven to be durable, sustainable and beautiful in the long term an exploration with workshops and lectures as a participatory knowledge transfer.

The post Home visits appeared first on Salzkammergut 2024.

At the edge of the Kainischmoor, we visit an old peat cut that has been renaturalised. There it is possible to get an idea of the structure of a moor and understand how renaturalisation works. The excursion also offers an insight into an original moor landscape with rare species such as the sundew, a plant that feeds on insects, or the cranberry, which otherwise only grows in the tundra. The history of the moors in Ausseerland, from the Ice Age to the major mining projects for the salt works to the attempts at renaturalisation, is a history of land use. Moors are not a cultivated landscape and therefore man and nature face each other in a way that offers many opportunities to reflect on our approach to the latter.

About the excursion leader: Karin Hochegger, nature conservation expert and author, worked for many years as a nature conservation expert. She currently heads the Liezen district office of the Nature Conservation Association and works on renaturation projects for moors and wetlands in Ausseerland and Ennstal.
