MIENAT

MIENAT is the acronym for “Methodology of Interpretation of European Nature Heritage in Tourism”. The EU project lasted three years. Eight universities in Europe developed a joint module for a bachelor's or master's program. The University of Applied Sciences (FHM) took over the planning and design of cultural landscapes, botanical gardens and castle gardens as part of the European natural heritage.
