Project summary

Between 2009 and 2019, the LIFE+ Traisen project gave rise to a unique river landscape with a mosaic of existing and new habitats. Many kinds of flora and fauna have already settled into the area. Many endangered kinds of flora and fauna have found a new home here. The river landscape will now continue to develop naturally and undisturbed. A natural river course with densely vegetated banks: that’s what the area around the mouth of the Traisen looks like today. This was made possible by the LIFE+ Traisen project – Austria’s largest land restoration project to date.
