Winter heath (Erica carnea) inside the forest.

The "Skyline" of Wiener Neustadt, as seen from the edge of the wood.

March 5th - today it is specially clear, Schneeberg can be seen perfectly - first, I take the short detour on the way back from the post office in Weikersdorf.

Then, back to the vineyards. More European Cornel (Cornel cherry, Cornus mas) on the edge of the forest.
