Tatonka Philosophy

Dear friends and fellow-lovers of the great outdoors. Higher, faster, further and then please even higher, even faster and even further. Performance orientation has long overpowered sports and left its mark. There is hardly a single discipline that isn't played to competitive level, whether as a direct comparison or at least "against the clock". Right in the middle of it, without pressure and without hectic: the outdoors. A calming focus where the issue is not winning, but enjoying. Isn't it lovely to take time out and find oneself again? To encounter nature, enjoy it and appreciate it? To us, it's the best thing there is. And absolutely essential. Because to us, outdoors is much more than a leisure activity - it is an attitude to life. If you think about it, the term is "out (of) doors", and was first used in the 1960s as the name of a high school programme in the USA. The basic idea behind the outdoor programme was to experience nature as a whole, and establish one's own abilities in a natural environment, away from civilisation. To experience nature personally as a connecting objective; the path to it is left to the individual. We'd like to tell you about some paths in this catalogue. By that we don't mean our products. They may have been made for discovering one's passion for nature, but in fact they are really "only" means to an end. To get you outside and really get you in the mood for outdoors, we have packed our bags and gone out in search of some brilliant tips and ideas for trips and tours. This year to Austria. What we found are impressive, fascinating or simply wonderful contemplative places that you as a nature-lover really shouldn't miss. Enjoy discovering them
