Cause the geologic construction and massif amount of water are the flacks of the mountains in this group overloaded with gras, the green ground goes until most of the summits itself. This is also the reasson why you can find shuch a viarity of flowers here. (Enzian, Alp-roses, Edelweiss even the White Alp-rose you can find here).just klik the flowernames to see a photo of them. The Kreuzeck Group has for the biggest part a mid.Alpine character but there's also a little part high.Alpine character.
