A beautiful, if a bit wet day in the Tauern. Managed to beat the thunderstorms down at least.

Good morning from the #ÖBB 🇦🇹 #EuroCity #Wörthersee. After the sun in Istria yesterday, it’s a bit less sunny today (🌧️🌨️) as we pass over the #Tauern line. There’s no @diningcar on the train but a lovely steward is selling drinks and snacks. And: he’s got a coffee machine! ☕️❤️

#Bergkristall (quartz), found at Hohentor, along the #Großglockner Hochalpenstraße.
Was actually looking for Pb-Zn mineralization, but not a bad consolation prize.

#Carinthia #Koroška #Kärnten: #Austria’s 🇦🇹 very south. Today a hike on Mount #Dobratsch, right above #Villach. Quite a refreshing affair (🥶). Nevertheless wonderful views to the #Tauern range of the Austrian #Alps and the lakes area (where we usually go for a swim in summer).
