Integrative tourism At the moment tourism is a rather small but continually growing economic factor in the Pielachtal valley. “Integrative tourism“ stands for the valorisation of natural and cultural heritage and the integration of guests in the social network of the region. This lived integrative tourism and the compilation of an Austrian-wide unique regional sustainability account were crucial reasons why the Pielachtal was awarded the EDEN 2007. (EDEN = European Destination of Excellence). - Aivar Ruukel

Several classical Roman authors such as Horace, Ovid, Pliny the Elder, and Vergil mentioned the “cornus” (cornel cherry tree) in their works. As early as in the 12th  century, Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098 – 1179) dedicated a chapter of her medical work “Physica” to the healing power of the Cornelian cherry.   The traditional use of cornel cherries for producing schnapps in the Pielach Valley can be traced back to the period of Empress Maria Theresia (18th  century).   However, cornelian cherries seem to be indigenous in the Pielach Valley for more that ten thousand years. The native shrub served as border hedge predominately. Originally, the wood was mainly used. Grafted cornelian cherries were first planted in the early 1990ies. - Aivar Ruukel

And now we're progressing yet again—to a society of creators and empathizers, of pattern recognizers and meaning makers. We've moved from an economy built on people's backs to an economy built on people's left-brains to what is emerging today: an economy and society built more and more on people's right-brains. - Aivar Ruukel
