At 14:00 all visitors have the chance to listen to a lecture by Mag. Alexander Ohms on "Austria in Climate Change – from Measurement Data of the Present to the Scenario of the Future". The lecture illuminates the topic of climate forecasts and explores the question of how possible changes in the coming decades could affect Austria. 
 
If you know where the food comes from, it tastes twice as good. More and more restaurateurs and hoteliers offer regional products on their menus. To further strengthen the cooperation between farmers and tourists, Saalfelden Leogang Tourism GmbH launched the lighthouse project “Tourism and Agriculture” as part of the brand development process in 2011. Now, on 26 June 2022, the Regionality Fair under the title "Regional Products Before the Curtain" will take place in Congress Saalfelden for the 7th time.
 
In Saalfelden Leogang, great emphasis is placed on quality rural products. At the regional trade fair, regional producers take the opportunity to present their products. Specialities such as bacon, bread, milk, eggs or brandy directly from the farms - food could not be more natural. Unique regional craftsmanship and great lectures round off this day perfectly in the sign of regionality!
 
A special highlight will be the lecture "Austria in climate change – from measurement data of the present to the future scenario" by meteorologist at the Central Institute of Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) Mag. Alexander Ohms.
