Title: Silvretta Hochalpenstraße
Post by: Pauli on August 06, 2011, 09:07:04 AM

Hello,

I convinced my family to a side trip over the Silvretta Hochalpenstraße while on the way to Bregenz.
It is a fine road that takes you over 2000msm.
The beginning of August was to late for the spring show, but too early for most seeds.
Unfortunately I was not allowed to climb up higher.

First the scenery
unknown Pedicularis
Primula hirsuta
Primula integrifolia
Gentiana prupurea
Gentiana nivalis
unknown Lupinus
Gentianella germanica
Hieracium aurantiacum

Hello Pauli, I was there from 17th until 27th juli, and the spring show at that time was fantastic.

Two weeks can make a big change!

I am sure, that there would be some interesting flowers higher up, but my family wanted to see Bregenz - not the mountains!
