Marble Quarry 28.2.2009
Last night it was raining, so last week´s snow has molten nearly completely at least in the plain. I start my walk at the outskirts of Winzendorf, going up to the disused marble quarry and to its two view points, afterwards I walk along the ridge of the Fischau mountains to the big limestone quarry where I descend to the village.

At the second viewpoint called "Neue Welt - Blick" ("New World´s view"): A faint, but clearly visible rainbow over the Piesting valley.
