Marble Quarry 1.5.2005

Winzendorf´s club for improvements in the village (" Dorferneuerungsverein") has organized a guided walk to the marble quarry with lunch service up there. A wonderful day with the familiy.

The walk starts through a boundary ridge up to the forest

A Spurge species (Euphorbia amygdaloides) flourishes in the forest

The path leads through mixed forest. Most trees have young leaves now.
