"Krone" heart man
Martina’s heart beats for marmots on the Glockner
Martina Gebert is passionate about looking after marmots on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and accompanying them until they hibernate.
"I've never met anyone who has such a bond with the marmots," says Peter Maier from East Tyrol, explaining why he signed Martina up for the Herzensmensch campaign. The 58-year-old has been spending the summer on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road for 15 years and looks after the animals there: "I'm trying!" says the natural scientist.
Every now and then, drivers mistake the road for a race track - and run over the rodents: "I've had to raise several young animals because the mothers have been run over," says Martina, who has built up a strong bond with the marmots.
She not only feeds the rodents, but also nurses them back to health and looks after them until they hibernate: "I wish the marmots were more appreciated," appeals the animal lover.
