The Nock Mountains are - geologically – Austria’s oldest landscape. For a hundred million years, the land around them has risen and fallen, while the mountains themselves hardly moved. And for the past thousand years, the same has been true for the harmonious co-existence of wild nature and rural culture. Traditional farming and, more recently, a National Biosphere Park, have kept out the mass tourism that blighted other Alpine regions.
