The aim of this hiking excursion is to explore and botanically analyze the diverse flora and fauna of a particular Austrian region. Please note that we will cover an altitude of 1,000-1,400 meters per day. Following the mostly full-day hikes, there will be a seminar program in the evenings. During the evening discussion, we will analyze the species discovered during the day and talk about the use of the biological material in the folk-, academic and traditional Chinese medicine.

Requirements: Endurance, sure-footedness and very good shoes are absolutely necessary.
