Auf den Spuren des Clusius
Outdoor adventure, Scenic lookout
Description
Ötscher, Lackenhof
He brought us the horse chestnut, the tulip and the potato. And he climbed the Ötscher around 430 years ago, described its plants and thus provided one of the oldest testimonies to the study of Alpine flora. We are talking about Charles de l'Écluse, called Clusius (1526-1609), the important court botanist of Emperor Maximilian II.
Many eastern alpine plant species bear the name of the scholar, e.g. the Clusius gentian, the Clusius primrose or the Clusius blackberry. Follow in his footsteps on an exciting journey of discovery into the unique flora of the alpine Mostviertel region.
Once a month, you can follow in the footsteps of the famous scientist on a guided hike in the Ötscher-Tormäuer Nature Park and learn all about the alpine plants, the surrounding peaks and the history of the Ötscher.
