The activists, who fought against a cannon firing range and then against a storage power plant of the Enns power plants in God’s most beautiful nature more than 25 years ago, want to look at their life’s work from the saddle of their bicycles. During a joint bike tour on Saturday, September 10, the “veterans” want to think together with those interested in the history of the Kalkalpen National Park to what extent the park has enabled plant and animal species to survive and the To give the region a perspective with managed tourism. Wolfgang Heitzmann, Alois Lindenbauer, Erich Weigand, Reinhard Resch, Irene Schwaiger, Mary and Konrad Laussamayer as well as Franz Sieghartsleitner will saddle up at 9.30 a.m. at the barrier of the Anzenbach car park.
In order to prevent the beech forests – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site – from being shot up and the gorges from being flooded, the environmentalists of the time had themselves chained to the doors of the town hall, had themselves carried away by the police and sentenced by the Weyer District Court as “trespassers”. The regional court overturned the judgments and the then governor Josef Ratzenböck (VP) gave the promise in 1984 to drop the power plant project. (feh)
