Berufsbild
National Park rangers know their protected area like the back of their hands. As nature and outdoor professionals, they know where the best place is to watch wild animals, which plants are in bloom at the time and where you can enjoy the finest view. If they are not busy accompanying guests and school groups, they provide area surveillance, monitoring and carry out additional duties in the context of the National Park idea.
