Oilseed Rape FLowers Urschendorf and Gerasdorf 10.5.2021
Briht sunshine, up to 28 °C due to a foe weather situation, resulting in excellent visibility. The oilseed rape is in full flower now, so I take my mountain bike to have a look.
The first of the fields already shinng from afar ...
... so that I have to go close - walking through an adjacent field, carefully stepping between the rows of germinating sun flowers - a promise for beautiful views in July ...

Bees enjoy - and the beekeepers together with them.
I have venturede further, along the outskirts of Urschendorf and along the trail of the long ago disused local railway between Willendorf and Neunkirchen. Behind Gerasdorf, I go further a bit heading for Mollram, but nistead entering the forest, I branch to the left on a narrow gravel road, to enjoy the view to these oilseed rape fields from above.
The hilly landscape between St. Egyden/Urschendorf/Gerasdorf and Mollram/Raglitz also is built from Rohrbach conglomerate - like the Gesanger Bühel and the hills between Saubersdorf and St. Egyden.
Hohe Wand behind the huge oilseed rape fields.

Hohe Wand
Only a small bit of Schneeberg visible from here, behind the mountains of Würflach (Eichberg and Mittereck).

I rode back to near Gerasdorf and branched off to the right to the narrow tarmac road heading for St. Egyden/Neusiedl. This is the panoramic view of the fields from the opposite side, no less impressive. Click here or into the picture for a larger display.
From a bit more afar, Schneberg is slightly better visible...
... and the village of Würflachin this picture.
I proceed to Neusiedl and a bit of the Blätterstraße heading for Weikersdorf, before I branch off to the left to Sauberdorf and Winzendorf. Opposite to the gravel pit near Neusiedl, I find another flowrishing oilseed rape field ...
... with Schneeberg in behind, and houses of Neusiedl.
