The Brenner Base Tunnel - a new link through the Alps

31 The following environmental measures, which have added value both for the public as well as for nature, will be implemented during the construction of the Brenner Base Tunnel. Ecological compensation measures Over the first six months of 2016, the Tantegert marshy wooded area near the Lanser Kopf summit, at the Tantegert tram station, was restored in cooperation with the city of Innsbruck and private property owners. The water level of the artificially drained moorland was raised again and a space with two tarns was created. This allowed for improvements to the grey elder forest and with the removal of foreign species. The city of Innsbruck also built a barrier-free path around the moorland and installed display boards and rest areas. In this way, a barrier- free and high-quality local recreation area was created. It can be reached with public transport modes, too. Revitalisation of the Tantegert marshy forest area Revitalisation of the Tantegert marsh area near Innsbruck.
