2024

I started my collecting season similar like the last years with a visit at my "Ameliekluft", followed by tours to several side valleys of the Zederhaus valley. Only little success was the result in spring.

During summer, the weather forecast was the biggest enemy, too often it was wrong, so I wasn´t able to go collecting as often as I wanted. In July I had the possibility to do some film shooting, for an episode of "Bergwelten", in the Kreuzeckgruppe in Carinthia.

But nevertheless I made some tours during summer and found a few nice new specimens for my collection.

After an early snow fall, I thought that the season was over, but after some weeks, the snow disappeared completely and there were weeks of stable and beautiful weather in the mountains. I took my chance and made a few tours and got a little late luck and found some cool specimens. 

 

The main minerals I found this year are Calcite, Fluorite, Rutile and Quartz!
