Forestry operations

Sustainable farming - in harmony with nature

The Admont and Trieben forestry administrations manage around 25,000 hectares of land owned by the foundation - including an impressive 17,800 hectares of forest. Here, the valuable resource of wood is managed sustainably with responsibility and foresight - in harmony with nature, climate and tradition.

But the Stiftsforst is much more than "just" forestry: hunting, the maintenance of agricultural land, the management of mountain pastures by local farmers and the exercise of fishing rights in clear streams and lakes are also part of a comprehensive, nature-oriented utilisation concept.

A living space. Conscious utilisation. A responsibility for generations.

Trieben Forestry Administration - Sustainable management of natural diversity

From the Paltental valley across the Triebener Tauern to the upper Lavanttal valley, the extensive property of the Trieben Forest Administration - an impressive part of the Benedictine monastery of Admont. On 13,500 hectares, spread over several communities and at altitudes between 700 and 2,450 metres, farming is carried out here with responsibility and foresight.

The variety of rock types - from graphite and quartzite slate to mica gneiss - not only characterises the landscape, but also the character of the forests. Spruce, fir and larch dominate the inter-Alpine region - complemented by majestic Swiss stone pines in the high altitudes of the Rottenmann and Seetal Alps.

Round 45,000 cubic metres of wood are harvested sustainably every year - in close harmony with nature and its dynamics. This creates a living habitat that not only provides valuable resources, but is also preserved for future generations.

Forestry with attitude - in one of the most impressive mountain landscapes in Styria.
