Nature Park Philosophy

The “four pillars” form the basis of the nature parks.

Nature parks preserve and develop unspoilt natural areas and landscapes worthy of protection. Cultural landscapes shaped over centuries are preserved and brought to life for visitors to understand and experience.

Nature conservation

Preserving nature and biodiversity

That is our aim, for they are our nature park’s most valuable asset. Through biodiversity projects, sustainable land use and low-impact nature tourism, we preserve and protect the diversity of our natural and cultural landscapes.
