Later, an artificial lake was added to the area, which is now used by the population as a recreational area - for swimming, walking and cycling. As usual in leisure areas, I have set up orientation boards at various places around the lake. Your own position is marked with a red dot so that the viewer tries to locate himself, but notices that the boards show the same area but a completely different time. With the help of the legend it is possible to define the two forced labor camps. | Location: Mostviertel | ||
