View over the limestone plateau of Schneeberg in NW direction. Klosterwappen (2076 m), the highest point of Lower Austria, is shown in the left central background. The depressions in the centre of the photo represent fine examples of karstic sinkholes. This landform is also known as doline, derived from a Slavic term for valley.
