Hohe Wand 30.1.2017

I have to take advantage of the last day with high fog to have a look from Hohe Wand. Only a short time off for this, so I take the car to visit a few view points.

Near Skywalk.

The mist is reaching up nearly to the edge of the plateau.

Panoramic view into the mist - at the Skywalk. Click here or into the picture for a larger display.

Sometimes the fog spills up a bit.

On the plateau near the Postl inn.

The mist not far here.

I walk the short leg to the "hang glider grassland" - no activity today, of course.

Vierw back from the grassland  in the direction of the Skywalk.

Short drive to the Waldeggerhaus. Here you have the best view to the west. Where else ...

 ... can you get Schneeberg, Ötscher and Unterberg together into one picture?

Schneeberg

Ötscher

Unterberg. The "Natural snow" - skiing centre (as opposed to the many places with artificial snow) takes high advantage of this year´s cold winter - the coldest January for decades.

Another drive to the Kohlröserlhaus. The upper end of the escarpments are a bit lower there so wrapped in clouds; however, the flat plateau behind is a bit higher and sees the sun.
