On the fields near Saubersdorf and Doerfles - 25.1.2012
After a few days of rain and a slight bit of snow last night, the clouds are tearing apart - at least in the plain. The high mountains being still in clouds, it does not make sense to go there. So I take my mountain bike for a ride along gravel roads between Winzendorf, Saubersdorf and Doerfles.
Yesterday night´s tiny bit of snow keeps mainly in the shadow. Here, Schneeberg should be in sight, but it is wrapped in clouds.
This is the view in direction Bad Fischau, to the left is ...
Winzendorf with the ...
... large disused limestone quarry.
Proceding further ...
along the fishing pond between Saubersdorf and Winzendorf ...
... to the hill sear Saubersdorf, where there is a small chapel and a cell phone tower.

At the end of my ride I make a short detour to Blosser Berg. From there the view goes to Wechsel/Semmering, ...

... and Winzendorf, hidden behind the trees.
