Flight Vienna - Alicante. Early morning view in northern direction down the Salzach Valley with the towns of St. Johann im Pongau and Bischofshofen. Hochkönig (2941 m) and Hagengebirge appear in the left centre of the photo, whereas the Tennengebirge can be seen in the right centre. All these rugged mountain ranges belong to the Northern Limestone Alps. The Greywacke Zone in the foreground is characterized by more gentle slopes.
