Mödling Klausen

The Klausen valley between Mödling and Hinterbrühl is since centuries a favored recreation area full of scenic attractions. Prince Johann Josef of Liechtenstein, who bought the 'Herrschaft Mödling' in 1809 planted the black pines on the before bald rocks of the valley. He planed his whole Mödling possessions as - at that time fashionable - landscape garden with artificial ruins, temples and castles. 

The eye-catching black pines are the reason, why I feel so familiar in the mountains of Seoul. 

All these photos are from 27th of December 2014, a very unusual Austrian winter look.
