Small mountain villages such as the Lechtaler Seitentalgemeinde Hinterhornbach and communities away from the touristic hot spots have been struggling for years with population decline. In order to offer not only jobs, but rather a secure livelihood and to stop emigration, it needs high-quality tourism products and a clear positioning based on the available resources. The strongest feature of these mountain villages is their portal function for the high alpine region with its refuge and alpine climbing tracks. The feasibility of this product was tested in a small project. The "Grenzgänger" route connects the mountain villages of Schattwald, Hinterhornbach / Tyrol and Hinterstein / Allgäu in six stages (with the inclusion of refuge huts). In particular, the encounter of golden eagle, groundhog, ibex, chamois and black grouse as a natural heritage must be protected. However, this requires comprehensive environmental measures (setting the path) in alpine terrain and uniform signage / marking. Due to the altitude, bad weather periods and nature conservation, the construction time window is very short. A uniform appearance and marketing transform the "Grenzgänger" into an independent and internationally perceivable product. Cross-border cooperation between the geographically involved municipalities and DAV-sections results in an intensive transfer of know-how (signage, product management, etc.). As a result the regions can also experience a long-term self-sustaining economic upturn and protect natural heritage. (English)
