It is true that there are “certain efforts by the new owners of the Laussabauernalm to separate the Alm from the national park,” said the LH deputy Manfred Haimbuchner (FP), who is responsible for nature conservation, in response to a request from the Greens. However, only “if there is no agreement between the land and the owner”. A legal dispute between the national park and the new property owners should be avoided, said Haimbuchner, who confirmed at the request of the Green MP Rudolf Hemetsberger that he had known about the intended sale since 2019. However, the country did not make a purchase offer.
Hemetsberger saw this in a broadcast as an indication of an impending shrinkage of the national park. There is a threat of a “precedent that could ultimately lead to the national park being downsized,” said Hemetsberger.
