The Story

Lush green meadows vibrant with wildflowers of all shapes and colours, rich with a great diversity of wildlife are now rare in Europe – but here they still exist – in the Land of Butterflies on the Untersberg in the Grossgmain district near the city of Salzburg.

This film tells the story of perhaps the rarest butterfly in Europe, the Scarce Fritillary, and the LIFE project that was initiated to save this rare butterfly and also the many others that live in the wetland meadows around the Salzburg Open Air Museum.
