What a country!
Lush green meadows and dark green forests on rolling hills. In between are red spots: the roofs of the farmhouses. And in the middle, embedded in a wide plateau, the dark blue lake, the "Teichalmsee" with the colorful pedal boats. Light brown and dark brown spots all around: "ALMO" steers, which provide delicious beef, and horses that enjoy summer on the mountain pasture. The soul becomes calm and people relax.
