Big Maple Plain - for me one of the most beautiful places in the Northern Limestone Alps. I love this combination of mountains, plain and wonderful trees. The best time of the year to visit this place is - of course - autumn... many people know this and therefore it's really crowded on weekends... for a visit I usually wait until late afternoon.
The Big Maple Plain (1216 m) is located in the middle of the Alpine Park Karwendel on the Eng Alp in Tyrol, Austria and can be reached only via Bavaria.
The Eng Alp is the biggest alpine pasture of Europe. Here everybody can see how farmers are important for taking care of the landscape. Thanks to their constant care and a regular use of the alpine pastures the big Ahornboden (Maple Plain) can be maintained in perfect conditions. In summer almost 500 cows graze on this alpine pasture.
Some of the maples are older than 500 years and during autumn their leaves show striking colors.
The Alpine Park Karwendel is:
• one of the biggest reserves of the East Alps with its approx. 920 km²
• the biggest nature reserve of Austria
• the biggest reserve in Tyrol (730 km²)

It’s fall, and the leaves are just starting to turn. October is usually warm and dry, but so far it’s been cool and wet. It rained all night, and there’s been just a hint of sunshine so far.

There is a large section of about 10 varieties of maple trees in Highland Park. T this time of year they are ablaze with color. They can't be seen in one picture. This is only about 1/3rd of them.
