Almenland Chronicle

Chronicle of innovation - 25 years of the nature park Almenland

To mark the 25th anniversary of the " AlmenlandNature Park" region, a "Chronicle of Innovation" has been compiled. It is a comprehensive book of almost 250 pages, which is supported by public funds. According to the motto: "Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?" it describes the development of the 6 member municipalities over the last 25 years. The Almenland has become a pearl of Europe, a jewel in Austria and a wonderful, vibrant and yet natural home for its inhabitants. 

"Behind every project, behind every initiative, there is a person and behind every person there is a story. My aim was to find them, to find out where and how ideas are born and where the motivation for cohesion lies," says author Karl Oswald. Almenland is full of history and stories, a country worth seeing and living in. A country shaped by the times, the people, their culture and their innovative strength. Not shouting loudly like the trend of the times, but quietly and unobtrusively, but all the more warmly.
The commemorative publication contains a collection of future-oriented Leader projects as well as stories from the past. How our ancestors did a lot with very little.
Especially in times of the corona pandemic, "reading" is being rediscovered as a meaningful leisure activity. "The chronicle is reading material that brings us closer to the knowledge of our homeland in a wonderful way and should therefore find its place in every household in the Almenland Nature Park," says Chairman Mayor Erwin Gruber.

People who trust in their roots do not take a step backwards, they simply take a run-up. (Karl Oswald)
