Postalm

<span class=A world of Alpine flowers-
During the summer, the Postalm is used as summer pasture. Over 100 farmers from the Lammertal drive their young cattle up there to graze. In fact, more than 2,000 calves make this hill country of 46 square kilometres (the largest such area in Austria) their summer home and source of food. The characteristic vegetation of these hills is a unique environment for plants, with all kinds of species represented; numerous types of gentian, rare orchids are well represented.

The Alpine Flower Trail is an easy ramble. The loop is about 3 km long and takes around one hour to walk. A display board at the trail head and 40 more along the way allow you to experience this region's fascinating world of Alpine flowers at a relaxed pace.
