Puez-Odle Nature Reserve
The Puez-Odle Nature Reserve occupies a total area of over
23,000 acres comprising mainly rocky uplands (average altitude
2,500 m) in the northwestern Dolomites. It is a region of exceptional beauty
and a wealth of natural treasures. Above all it is a
region of contrasts, with jagged rocky crests, the bizarre products
of erosion and interesting karst formations on the one hand, and
wide open uplands and woods on the other.
The park was established for reasons of environmental protection, research,
education in the field of ecology, and also recreation.
The Nature Reserve has a number of core areas, where no
man-made structures or infrastructure are permitted. Visitors also
have to accept a number of restrictions. Above all private transport
is not allowed, and visitors are not permitted to pick flowers or mushrooms, or
to collect minerals or fossils. Care must be taken not to
damage the biotopes. Such regulations are essential if the Nature
Reserve is to be preserved in all its variety for future generations.

of South Tyrol - and parts of Alpe di Siusi also form a Nature
Reserve. Its spacious uplands and Dolomite faces, woods and
mountain meadows, and pastures bright with flowers make it a
paradise for nature-lovers today - and in the future.
