PIONEER CAMPING LIKE THE HUBMERS

Roughly 250 years ago lumberjacks started to settle in the ancient forest once covering all of Nasswald. Only slowly they carved out their homesteads in one of Austria's last wild valleys. It is very much possible that some of them initially slept in tents made of canvas - a tightly woven cotton fabric, rain repellent and wind resistent. A century later Native Americans of plains tribes would use the same material for their tepees when the once abundant bison had become scarce due to Euroamerican induced overhunting. To commemorate, recapture and revive the pioneering spirit of these times, we founded the Johann Hubmer Pioneer Campsite in the center of Nasswald and put canvas tents up to house adventurers and other guests coming and staying with us in Nasswald. It is named after Johann Hubmer, one of the founding fathers of the town of Nasswald, a true pioneer of his time. The Johann Hubmer Pioneer Campsite serves as a basecamp for adventures and outdoor activities offered at Wild Nasswald. Come stay with us in the wild!
