EUR 27,470 for the Nature and Environmental Protection Project in Asparn an der Zaya
What can be achieved when many people share a common goal was powerfully demonstrated by the voting at the 33rd Weißwurstparty at the Stanglwirt. In 2026, this long-standing tradition once again stood for collective commitment: through ticket sales, auction proceeds, and active participation in the project voting, a significant contribution to environmental and climate protection was made.
While outstanding athletic performances were celebrated on the legendary ski slopes, the Weißwurstparty placed a spotlight on another kind of excellence: exceptional commitment to society. Projects were honored that contribute to the protection of nature and the environment through innovative ideas and tangible action.
The result was clear: the Wild Solutions Park emerged as the overall winner of the voting and will receive support amounting to EUR 27,470.
As emphasized by the Stanglwirt, the Weißwurstparty once again showed that celebration and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive—on the contrary, they can reinforce one another in meaningful ways. The project voting in particular made this commitment visible and gave guests the opportunity to actively decide which initiatives should be supported. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who took part in the voting and gave their vote to the Wild Solutions Park—this trust is both recognition and motivation.
A Project That Makes Nature Conservation Tangible
The Wild Solutions Park Asparn an der Zaya represents a modern and forward-looking approach to nature and environmental protection. Within naturally designed habitats, wildlife is protected in an appropriate and respectful manner, while ecological interconnections are communicated in a clear and accessible way to visitors. The park combines biodiversity conservation, environmental education, and climate awareness—demonstrating how respectful coexistence between humans and nature can be achieved in practice.
Especially in times of climate crisis and accelerating habitat loss, the Wild Solutions Park makes an important contribution to awareness-building. It highlights how closely climate protection, biodiversity, and the responsible use of natural resources are interconnected.
Monika Langthaler: “Participation Creates Responsibility”
Monika Langthaler, Director of the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative and Head of the AUSTRIAN WORLD SUMMIT Solutions Hub, emphasized the significance of the project’s success during the official cheque handover by Maria Hauser at the Weißwurstparty:
“When people are not only talking about climate protection but are actively involved in shaping solutions, genuine responsibility emerges. The success of the Wild Solutions Park shows the strong interest in concrete, regionally rooted nature conservation projects—and how important it is to make them visible. Asparn an der Zaya and the Weinviertel region are outstanding examples of the innovation, natural richness, and commitment that exist in our regions. Where landscape, history, and future come together, environmental protection can be particularly effective and create long-term impact.”
An Evening That Creates Impact
That the Wild Solutions Park won the project voting at the Weißwurstparty is more than a symbolic success. It demonstrates that climate action is most effective when people are actively involved and when projects are tangible and experience-based rather than abstract concepts.
The Weißwurstparty 2026 once again proved that collective engagement can drive real change.
A Strong Partnership for Sustainable Impact
The Wild Solutions Park is a collaborative project bringing together dedicated partners working toward sustainable solutions: the Regionalentwicklungsverein Naturpark Leiser Berge, the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, the AUSTRIAN WORLD SUMMIT Solutions Hub, the MAMUZ Schloss Asparn/Zaya, and Green Bridge GmbH.
This partnership combines strong regional expertise with international climate competence, making the Wild Solutions Park a project with true model character.
