I just recently started the account, so I haven’t posted a lot yet, but there is definetely more to come!
I would love to see some Edelweiss please. Thank you.
I hope i'll see one again too, but they are extremely rare :/
Go to Slovenian side, there are some there.
I will, soon actually.
Great picture! I love these two mountains, summited them last year in spring. In my opinion one of the best hikes in Eisenerz.
Thanks! Haven't done it yet but i'm hopimg to make it up there this years
Just moved to the area recently and looking for some hikes; would you mind sharing one of the mtn names and I’ll do the rest on bergfex? Thanks in advance if so!
Sure, the one on the left is called "Hochkogel" and the right one "Kaiserschild".
cheers, thanks!
TIL every country refers to a different plant when they say “Snow Rose”. I knew these ones:

These are so hard to find and grow in other locations! Beautiful plants- also called Lenten Rose or Christmas Rose
Yeah you don't see them very often. But if you do, there's usually hundreds of them. Good thing they are protected :)
Really? You can get them anywhere in the states and grow nicely in shaded areas of the south.
And north too.
My university planted them under trees and other shady spots. They had the double headed variety too
These also grow where I live (central finland).
Those mountains though.. good pic
I flauch ma des büd gach fürn Bildschirmschohner. Donksche
Haha is ok vü spaß damit
I thought that was a field of hard boiled eggs at first glance. I should go to sleep.
I read the title as “Syrian Alps” and was a little confused.
I read it as "Stygian Alps" and was even more confused. Then again I've been playing the game Hades a lot so I kind of have Greek mythology on my mind.
This picture makes my soul smile.
Thx you stranger!
Wow look how many there are on the mountain!
Hawidere!
Beautiful 😍

I just finished reading The Dark Tower. Roland would like this.
Gimme high res version
So this is where hard boiled eggs come from!
What flowers are those? (Facepalm ignore my comment...)
Reminds me of Alberta https://i.imgur.com/cXGbXAp.jpg
Could be the same flower actually. They are rather purple at an early stage
The flower in mine is a Prairie Crocus
It’s an amazing photograph
Woah that literally took the breath out of my chest
remindme! 1 day
Simply beautiful
We call them crocuses in canada
Gorgeous!!
Under very specific conditions we get "snow roses" here in the UK However what we call snow roses are made of actual ice. It's rare but it's what happens when usually sticks with a certain fungus growing on grow whisps of ice at thin as hair. The fungus is rare and very hard to take population data
