1. State of compliance with the requirements

Due to the following incompatibilities and exceptions, this website is partially compatible with conformity level AA of the "Guidelines for Accessible Web Content Web - WCAG 2.1" and with the applicable European standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08). The incompatibilities and exceptions are listed below.

2. Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not accessible for the following reasons:
Content from third parties, such as third-party studies or presentation materials, social media elements that are not within the sphere of influence of the Gesäuse National Park are excluded from Directive (EU) 2016/2102. No statement can be made regarding the compatibility of this third-party content with accessibility regulations.

The PDF documents and Office documents are not accessible. For example, PDF documents are not tagged, so that they cannot be captured and used by screen reader users or only inadequately. This means that the WCAG success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role, value) is not met.

Videos: Our videos have no subtitles and therefore are not accessible.
Images: Our images should all have alternative text, so that this information is accessible to screen reader users. If you notice an image without alternative text, please let us know immediately.

Some forms (registration, shop order, etc.) may have readability-related malfunctions. If you notice a problem here, please let us know immediately.
We have endeavoured to make the website high-contrast. If the contrast of some elements is not sufficient for you, please let us know.
Links in the website usually only differ from the body text by underlining.

3. Preparation of this Statement on Accessibility

This statement was drawn up on 18 June 2021.
The compatibility of the website with the WZG for the implementation of the requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 was assessed in the form of a self-test under WCAG 2.1 in accordance with the AA conformity level in June 2021. The website was completely revised in 2021 and attention was already paid to accessibility during the revision (implemented at that time). Individual page contents are regularly checked by the web editors when new content is published.
