$A \'stone window\' near...$

A 'stone window' near Hauselalm, in the Hochschwab region. This kind of thing is in my opinion fairly rare in the Alps. May 2003

Not so rare

Voted 10/10

Well, in limestone mountains you can find stone windows quite often. But they are allways beautiful. Thanks for posting this nice picture!

	Hasn't voted	Well, to tell you the truth, I've been in the Julian Alps twice and that's one of my favourite mountain ranges! I swam in one of the Triglav Lakes before going up Triglav, which was great. I also passed through Vrsic by car, but did not go up to Prisojnik. Next time - maybe this summer - I certainly will look for the stone windows there, thanks for telling me about them!

	Hasn't voted	I have come across quite a lot of windows myself - and not only in limestone. The most famous one is Capu Tafunatu in Corsica, made of red granite! Cheers Gangolf
