ADMONT FORESTRY ADMINISTRATION
The Admont forestry enterprise is located in the northern Alps and borders Gesäuse National Park to the east and Upper Austria to the north.
The total area of 11,500 ha is located at an altitude of 650 m to 2,200 m above sea level. The terrain is mostly steep and cannot be accessed by vehicles. The bedrock lies in the transitional area from carbonate (lime, dolomite) to silicate (slate). The limestone Alps form imposing mountain backdrops here, with the Haller Mauern and the Admonter Kalbling. Due to the geology, climate and altitude, the natural community of the forest consists mainly of spruce, fir and larch trees. 40,000 solid cubic metres of wood are harvested annually within the scope of sustainable utilisation.

The property of Admont Benedictine Abbey that is managed by the Trieben Forest Administration extends in several separate areas from the Palten Valley over the Triebener Tauern Pass into the Pölstal and further into the upper Lavant valley on the Styrian border to Carinthia. The total area of 13,500 ha is located at an altitude of 700 m to 2,450 m above sea level in the municipalities of Trieben, Rottenmann, Gaishorn, Hohentauern, Pölstal and Obdach. The bedrock consists of graphite schists and phyllitic slates from the greywacke zone in the Paltental, quartzite slates and gneiss in the Seckau and Rottenmann Tauern, and mica schists and schist gneiss in the Seetal Alps. Due to the geology and the location in the interalpine region of spruce and pine forests, our forests consist predominantly of the tree species spruce, fir and larch, which grow there naturally. At the high altitudes of the Rottenmann and Seckau Tauern and the Seetal Alps, Swiss pine is also found in larger portions. In the course of managing the usable forest areas, approximately 45,000 solid cubic metres of sustainable wood are produced each year.
