Vineyards and Fields 3., 5. and 6.11.2020
Three times out in nice late autumn weather, to the vineyards between Winzendorf and Bad Fischau, the fields between Saubersdorf and Willendorf, on 5.11. also to the pilgrimage church of Höflein and in the "Neue Welt".
2.11.2020: After last night´s rain I have to venture out into the sun. It is still a bit cloudy, but I catch a sunny spell in the vineyards. Click here or into the picture for a larger display.
Excellent visibility today, so the Rosalia mountains are visible perfectly.

Nearer to Bad Fischau.

Riding now with my mountainbike through Weikersdorf and branching off to the fields heading for Willendorf. Ruin Emmerberg nicely depictured in front of the shady Hohe Wand.
The goal is the birch alley near Dörfles/Strelzhof, with its wonderful view to Schneeberg - not today, as the mountain is still wrapped inclouds.
5.11.2020 - No more clouds on Schneeberg. After posting some parcels, I proceed with the mountainbike across the fields.
Schneeberg and Hohe Wand.
A small pond, surrounded by trees and a fence, private property seemingly.
More beautiful views to Schneeberg.

Today, the birch alley is in the sun, and the view to Schneeberg is free.

I continue my ride up to the Römerweg and crossing Willendorf. Near the Römergrube a nice view to the pilgrimage church of Höflein ...
... where I have my next stop to look back down Willendorf and to the Steinfeld and the Rosalia mountains.
The other direction gives view to Unterhöflein, Schneeberg, ...
... Oberhöflein and Hohe Wand - on its upper south side, I walked along last week.

A last ascent to Oberhöflein, and I enjoy the downhill from Zweiersdorf (this s the view from there to the Fischau mountains, far right Kienberg) through the Neue Welt.
From Stollhof down, I take a rugged dirt road. View to ruin Emmerberg, Schlossberg to the left.

6.11.2020 - a short dog walk through the vineyards.
View up to the marble quarry ...
... and down to the fields towards the plane. The two umbrella pines are marking the last foothills of the mountains, built from conglomerate.
