View from the vicinity of Burgruine Bachsfall over the town of Bischofshofen in NE direction to the Tennengebirge in the left background. The Hochthron (2363 m) can be seen near the left edge of the scene. Note the difference between the steep rock cliffs of the Northern Calcareaous Alps and the rather gentle slopes of the Greywacke Zone, mainly composed of Paleozoic metamorphic rocks.
