The restored themed trail preserves the former content and inspires visitors with new tips to experience one of the most beautiful valleys in the Alps.

The trail runs along the road and crosses it several times, thus offering several possible starting points for walking along shorter sections of the trail. For people in wheelchairs and prams, there is a part of the trail, that leads to the Palenk waterfall, as well as a shorter circular section of the trail next to the mountain hut Dom planincev.

The content of the boards, mobile app ''The pure power of nature'' and guided tours through the landscape park shows the exceptional natural features and the consciousness of the locals who have harmonized their lives with nature. A walk through the most beautiful corners of the Logar valley; from the source of the Črna river to the Rinka waterfall also attracts visitors to discover historical and ethnological features.

The locals and the managers of the trail are inviting you to take a walk through the natural-ethnographic trail in Logar valley. It will take away different images from you at any time of the year. You can meet a different story, a song or a warm handshake at every step. The content of the trail emphasize the thought: "The Logar valley is not here to be changed, but to change us."

Since 2020 Berchtesgaden National Park is cooperation partner (together with the Landesbund für Vogelschutz in Bayern e. V.) in an international project for the resettlement of the Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) into the European Alps. In 2021 the first two young vultures have been successfully released in the Klausbach Valley within the Park.

On June 9th 2022 two more vultures have been released into the wild in the same area. This project is laid out for at least 10 years. Presupposed a high enough breeding success in the european breeding stations, the release of 2 – 3 birds each year is planned. Priority objective is to finally close the gap of individuals and breeding pairs between the balkan and the alpine population. Subordinated objective is to establish breeding Bearded Vultures in the Bavarian Alps in the future.

"The IPCC has finalized the second part of the Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, the Working Group II contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report. It was finalized on 27 February 2022 during the 12th Session of Working Group II and 55th Session of the IPCC."

BERLIN, Feb 28 – Human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world, despite efforts to reduce the risks. People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, released today.

“This report is a dire warning about the consequences of inaction,” said Hoesung Lee, Chair of the IPCC. “It shows that climate change is a grave and mounting threat to our wellbeing and a healthy planet. Our actions today will shape how people adapt and nature responds to increasing climate risks.”

“This report recognizes the interdependence of climate, biodiversity and people and integrates natural, social and economic sciences more strongly than earlier IPCC assessments,” said Hoesung Lee. “It emphasizes the urgency of immediate and more ambitious action to address climate risks. Half measures are no longer an option.”
