Tauern information


Innergschlöss: alm farming in the valley bottom, mountain forests, alpine meadows and glaciers in the High Tauern

The word Tauern (German pronunciation: [ˈtaʊ̯ɐn] ) is German and originally meant 'high mountain pass' in the Austrian Central Alps, referring to the many bridleways and passes of the parallel side valleys of the River Salzach that cut into the mountain ranges. From the Middle Ages, when mining reached its heyday, the word Tauern was also used to name the corresponding ranges. The name has survived in many local placenames today.
