Rules
In Austria fruit and plants belong to the landowner (§ 405 ABGB), and picking for personal use is usually tolerated unless a sign bans it. The Forest Act (Forstgesetz) limits mushrooms to 2 kg per person per day, and protected species in Tyrol are listed in the Tiroler Naturschutzverordnung. Stay off uncut meadows, as they supply hay for the farms.
About the place
The Stubai Valley near Innsbruck combines hay meadows on the valley floor with summer pastures and larch forest on the slopes. Meadows flower from May at the bottom to August on the high pastures. The season climbs the slopes with the melting snow.
