Just before New Year I did head out once more with the drone, this time into the lovely Bregenz Forest. Along the way there were some lovely bends and forests. The tour ended just before Warth. Warth lies at 1,495 metres, is the highest municipality in Vorarlberg and, with just under 200 inhabitants, one of the smallest; it is connected to the Bregenzerwald via the Hochtannberg Pass. Considering how much snow usually lies there at this time of year, it was strange to see so much green and brown – it was certainly cold enough, at times minus eight degrees. On the way back I found a beautiful chapel up on a mountain.
Out with the drone once more: hairpins through the mixed forest in the Bregenzerwald.Where the stream forks, red leaves lie among the spruces, from the air.The hairpin with its stone wall runs through the mixed forest in the Bregenzerwald.The road runs over a stone arch right along the rock, in the Bregenzerwald.Spruces and bare broadleaf trees, an orange crown in the middle, in the Bregenzerwald.The road draws a long S-bend through the wooded gorge.Straight on between dark forest and a slope with snow and posts.Hoarfrost on the meadows, a stream and scattered houses in the Bregenzerwald.Hoarfrost on the broadleaf trees, dark spruces between them – down to minus eight.Gravel islands in the partly frozen stream, the bank forest white with hoarfrost.A pale gravel bank lies in the partly frozen stream, the bank trees white.The rock face stands steep above the dark forest in the Bregenzerwald.Alone in the frosted clearing: a hut with a tin roof beside the road.Two snowy peaks above a valley with few houses, on the way towards Warth.Jagged and cut by gullies: a snowy peak, with dark conifer forest below.The snowy mountain range stretches wide above the valley in the Bregenzerwald.Sun on the snowy ridge, the hairpin road running in the valley below.Between the wooded slopes lie meadows, houses and tight hairpins.Islands of spruce and a gravel stream on the brown slope – still plenty of green and brown.The road runs narrow beside the grey river and the rock face in the Bregenzerwald.The small white chapel beneath spruces on the slope, found on the way back.Beside the stream, gravel and scree stands the small chapel in the forest.
