The birch ensures a high pollen load!

The pollen load in the valleys and basins of Carinthia is characterised by the flowering of the birch dominated by birch blossom. If the conditions for the pollen count are favourable, there is a high pollen load in the lowlands, accompanied by severe symptoms for those affected. The seasonal exposure peaks can also be reached on sunny and windy days.

The hornbeams will also reach high levels and also trigger allergic cross-reactions due to their close relationship (birch family).

The pollen count will also be affected until around mid-May by the ash blossom the pollution remains at a medium level.

The pollen of the hop hornbeam have shown a strong sign of life. These have been transported to us by wind from neighbouring countries to the south. Its pollen is classified as highly allergenic.

Also in the air: pollen from poplars, elms, willows. A gradual decline is taking place here.

Cypress pollen (in high numbers) has only a limited effect on allergy sufferers.
