How to reach the Tre Cime nature Park
Founded in 1981, the Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime Nature Park extends over a 11,891 hectare area comprising the villages of Toblach / Dobbiaco, Sexten / Sesto and Innichen / San Candido. It encompasses the northeastern cornerstone of the Dolomites and is bounded to the north by Pustertal / Pusteria valley, to the east by Sextental / Val di Sesto valley, to the south by the provincial border with Belluno, and to the west by Höhlensteintal / Val di Landro valley.
The Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime Nature Park is notable for its rugged landscape and world renowned peaks and mountains, and above all for the world renowned Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime di Lavaredo mountains, where, beginning in the first half of the 19th century, mountain climbers from far and near achieved pioneering feats of mountain climbing. Today, expert climbers from around the world exhibit their climbing acumen on the vertical rock faces of these mountains.
The park is part of the European-wide Natura 2000 sites, which aim to promote habitat, flora and fauna conservation and were established under the EU’s FFH Directive (92/43/EC) and Bird’s Directive (2009/147/EC). Article 6(1) of the FFH Directive requires EU member states to elaborate conservation measures for Natura 2000 sites, to which end the province of South Tyrol commissioned so called management plans.
Each park has an executive board whose members are representatives of the relevant municipalities, an expert in natural sciences, representatives of nature conservation associations, farmers’ rapresentatives and representatives of the relevant provincial agencies.
