Lake Abant is at about 1330m and the meadow just a few tens of metres above at 1380-1400

Remarkable number of  flowers seen, in spite of the snow. Of course the snow makes for very attractive vista shots.
The blue of the Crocus abantensis is so lovely - perhaps it was even more "noticeable" when the flowers were closed?
