Strong performances at the 23rd State Forestry Championship

The 23rd Austrian National Forestry Championship took place at the Tamsweg Agricultural College on April 8th and 9th. Around 120 students from all over Austria demonstrated their skills in handling chainsaws.

The competition spanned two days. The first day featured the felling notch and felling cut disciplines, as well as the precision cut, where accurate and clean work was paramount. The second day included chain replacement and the combination cut, where speed was just as crucial as precision.

The top 12 participants then qualified for the fifth discipline – pruning. Among them were two students from our school:
Valentin Siebenhofer and Magdalena Mandler.

Both athletes delivered particularly strong performances: Valentin achieved an outstanding 2nd place in the individual competition, becoming Vice State Champion . Magdalena also celebrated her Vice State Champion title .

In the limbing competition, Valentin achieved a strong 2nd place with a time of 28.36 seconds and no errors . Magdalena came in 3rd in the same discipline. Additionally, Magdalena achieved 1st place in the chain replacement, 2nd place in the felling notch & felling cut, and 2nd place in the combination cut.


There was also reason to celebrate in the team competition: The girls' team, a mixed team from our school and the LFS Litzlhof, secured first place .

Our boys also showed strong performances and held their own very well in the large field of participants.

We warmly congratulate all participants on their great achievements and are proud that our school was so successfully represented at this state championship.
