Morning view from Trenchtling in NE direction to the Pribitz (1579 m, centre) and the Messnerin (1835 m, right side). An ancient rock avalanche from the W face of Messnerin has impounded the Grüner See (near the bottom of the photo). Tragöß-Oberort can be seen at the very right side of the photo. The most prominent summits in the background are Brandstein (2003) and Ebenstein (2123 m) on the left side, bounding the scarp of the rock avalanche of Wildalpen, and Hochschwab (2277 m) in the centre.
