[email protected]
Von der Idee zur Umsetzung
Elf buchbare touristische Angebote (siehe ab Seite 3),
entwickelt im Rahmen der letztjährigen atb_experience
zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit, wurden im Rahmen der
atb_sales im Jänner 2014 präsentiert, darunter der
Weissensee, das Gailtal, der Traunsee oder die
Hohen Tauern. Neben den Kojen als Ort für bilaterale
Gespräche war der „Austria Show Room“ ein
besonderer Themen-Handelsplatz.
Damit wurde die Verbindung zwischen atb_experience
(„Geschäft von Morgen“) und atb_sales („Geschäft von
Heute“) prominent dargestellt. Vertreter der „outdoor
experiences“ und „best of experience“ waren zur
atb_sales eingeladen um ihre buchbaren Produkt, die
durch die atb_experience entstanden, zu präsentieren.
Der Moderator John Megill sprach bei der persönlichen
Vorstellung der Angebote mit den Vertretern der
Tourismusverbänden und stellte Fragen: „Wir haben
uns bei der atb_experience kennen gelernt. Was ist
seitdem passiert? Was wurde entwickelt und kann jetzt
gebucht werden?“
Im Anschluss an die Präsentationen konnten die
Reiseveranstalter in einem eigenen Loungebereich mit
den Vertretern der Tourismusverbände die
vorgestellten Produkte einkaufen.
Die Produkte müssen spezielle Kriterien erfüllen:
•
•

of the Dobratsch Mountain from a new perspective from the water. Experience “the Wild" as the Gail River is called nestled between the Dobratsch
Mountain and the Carnic ridge by canoe. After paddling stop at Lisi’s alpine restaurant for a traditional
paddle snack. Along the 1,600 m high south wall of the Dobratsch mountain this canoe trip takes you to
Europe's unique wilderness scenery of the “Schütt”. Experience peaceful river stretches and wild
rapids. The Gail river, whose name derives from the Slavic „the Wild“ is easily controlled by everyone
after the detailed instructions of our experienced guides. After the initial instructions your guide you will
start with you from the bay in Nötsch and give you additional information about the environment. At the
beginning the Gail meanders relatively calmly, so you can enjoy the natural beauty on both sides of the
river. After two thirds of the way you will encounter some more demanding passages that require your
concentration in the canoe. After this exciting part we exit at the Nepomuk Bridge. Back on land we
walk across the bridge and leave the tour with a delightful paddle snack at Lisi's alpine restaurant. We
continue now per minibuses back to the starting point in Nötsch.
Thursday: Buffet breakfast in the hotel, Wildlife Nature Park Dobratsch & Dinner at the hotel
Wildlife Nature Park Dobratsch: Equipped with high-quality Swarovski binoculars we start to the Natural
Park Dobratsch Mountain at the beginning of the Villach Alpine Road. At the toll station, a park ranger
expects you, who will accompany you through the day. The ascent of the 16.5 km long panoramic road is a
delight. We start the day with a small „Nature Park Breakfast " at the parking lot 2 of the Villach Alpine Road.
At 1,732 meters above sea level you should pause for a few minutes and enjoy the landscape. Meanwhile
your park ranger will explain the eventful history of the area in detail. The nature park Dobratsch has been
the first natural park in Carinthia. Before the year 2002, this was an alpine ski area, which was then carefully
removed for the protection and benefit of nature. Since then, a rich biodiversity can grow here protected
plants and animals can grow in peace. After the introduction to the history of the natural park you walk uphill
in the early morning from the Rosstrattenstüberl alpine hut. Along the hike, you can enjoy a variety of wildlife
and, with some luck, spot alpine jackdaws, alpine swift, perhaps black grouse and capercailzie through your
binoculars. Along the southern slopes golden eagles may glide and can be seen best from the Brunnleitn.
Here you may also see the first chamois. From the “10er Haus” enjoy the breathtaking mountain panorama
and, during a delicious natural park picnic with specialties from the farmers in the region, learn more exciting
details about the development of this natural park. On the way back you maybe want to study the beautiful
exhibits along the geological trail.
