Welcome to the World Championships in Rohrbach-Berg, Austria!
Located in the heart of Europe, Austria offers a unique blend of breathtaking natural landscapes and rich culture. In Vienna, the charming capital, visitors can explore the magnificent St. Stephen's Cathedral, the imposing Schönbrunn Palace, and the vibrant coffeehouse culture. Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, captivates with its historic old town and the majestic Hohensalzburg Fortress. Rohrbach-Berg is located in the border triangle with Germany and the Czech Republic and is the perfect starting point for discovering the beauty of the region. For hiking enthusiasts, the nearby Bohemian Forest is a true paradise. Austria is honored to host this international event and wishes all participants every success and an unforgettable time.
Dear participants,
As chairman of the Rohrbach-Berg German Shepherd Association, it is my great pleasure to warmly welcome you to the FCI IGP Tracking Dog World Championship 2025 here in the beautiful Mühlviertel region.
Tracking holds a special place in our club. We regularly benefit from top-quality terrain conditions that provide ideal settings for tracking.
The excellent relationship between our club, the landowners, and the hunters crucial to our success.
It is important to emphasize that we recognize such support is not something to be taken for granted in today's world. At this point, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the understanding and support shown toward our dog sport.
​
It fills us with great joy and pride as a local club to bring an event of this significance back to Austria after so many years and to host it here in
Rohrbach-Berg.
We, as a club, are committed to ensuring a smooth process and providing optimal conditions for this event.
In tracking, the dogs are largely on their own, so we wish all participating four-legged friends an excellent nose and a clear head, and to their handlers, skilled and fair leash work.
The SVÖ Rohrbach-Berg wishes you the best of luck and great success!​​
​
