Austria 2008

I was in the valley of the river Möll (Carinthia county). It was rather a holiday than a field trip, but inverts find me everywhere The wheather was very good, only one or two light rains in a week, what is unusual there.

Edit: pictures don't work with , so until I figure it out I've written the links

First, the landscape: 3000 m high mountains with pine forests, above 2600 m no trees at all
