The Nationalpark Kalkalpen protects Austria's largest contiguous forest wilderness in the Reichraming Hinterland and Sengsengebirge in southeastern Upper Austria. The website describes a habitat mosaic of around 30 forest types, more than 10,000 animal, plant and fungal species, and a 16,000-hectare zone where no human intervention takes place. Its beech forests are recognised as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.

The park's management is organised by the national park administration in Molln and its work is guided by a management plan for 2021 to 2030. Its services are aimed at visitors, children, young people and adults through guided tours by certified rangers, visitor centres, an education programme, and research and monitoring projects. The website also publishes calls for artists and offers internships and a voluntary environmental year.

The administration is based at Nationalpark Allee 1 in Molln, and visitor centres are located in Reichraming, Windischgarsten, Roßleithen and Rosenau am Hengstpass. The site is published in German, English and Czech, and the park marks its 30th anniversary in the current calls. Open listings include ranger training for the Kalkalpen and Gesäuse national parks, a four-week monthly internship, and the JUMP voluntary environmental year.
