Soell featuring snow skiing, mountains and snow

Soell

A fairytale church sits high on the hilltop overlooking the tiny village far below. Timber houses with steeply pitched roofs, balconies with window shutters open wide. Flowering geraniums spilling from planter boxes like pink and red waterfalls cascading to the ground. Beyond dark green fir trees march like soldiers up the mountain in an attempt reach the sky. Austria you are ridiculously beautiful more than my simple words can describe.
