The Alpine foreland mostly north of Salzburg city has a traditional name: Flachgau.
The flat county. During that recent spring interlude in the middle of winter we hiked one of the highest peaks of those flat lands; Große Plaike, 1,033 meters above sea leave, from our starting point a relative altitude of some 500 meters. A beautiful hike in warm weather, only just that little bit of mud on the way …
Near the peak some of the spring storms of recent years seem to have devastated big stretches of forest; I guess clever foresters seem to be waiting for natural regrowth.
