Hello!
After my vacation in July I happily returned to Carinthia, my favourite region in Austria. Even after so many visits, this region still has many places in store and on a slow but steady path we are exploring one corner after another.
 |
| On our way to Fresach |
 |
| I was surprised to find the woods deserted on such a perfect Sunday afternoon |
 |
| A pool. Really? |
 |
| Sequential arrangement |
 |
| Late October and the woods are burst from mushrooms |
 |
| "I'm freeeeezing." |
 |
This scenery not just reminded my of "Top of the Lake" (scary1), it actually was at the top of a lake pond. |
 |
| Exciting occurence |
 |
| The patchwork house is the neighbour of the ... |
 |
| ... idea of an ideal home? Maybe. |
 |
| A stable, bursting from hay |
 |
| Right next to the stable you find this structure. |
 |
| Big scale farming |
A chapel accompanied with cows ...
 |
| ... cows and ... |
 |
... a cowboy. matchy matchy (photo at a vintage antique ice cream stand) |
 |
| Another plant, working 24/7 |
 |
| Small scale structure (no idea, what the purpose of the building to the left is/was) |
The Drautal Valley is the largest river valley in Carinthia, it's
situated not far from the place where we are staying, which is nice for
the first day of a vacation - no long car rides.
We
left the house quite late and experienced an afternoon full of
impressive impressions, so many different qualities in just 3 hours. The
proximity of small, antique structures and huge industrial plants was
surprising. Exactly to my liking. :-)
 |
| After the harvest, looking South towards the Southern Alps/Slovenia |
 |
| No, I did not eat them, but tried to identify their nature back home with a mushroom guidebook. |
 |
| spectacular. perfect. amazing. heart opening. |
 |
| A high seat in an old oak tree |
 |
| Golden October shines on a colourfull berberis |
 |
| A Villacher beer is never far in Carinthia |
 |
| Detail at the Protestant parish in Fresach |
 |
| Leaves on every step of our way |
 |
| At the cemetry gates |
 |
| By far the most specatcular plant in such a remote rural region, near Villach |
 |
| The plant comes with a drive through and colour blocking. |
