On it's Intercity towards Graz, this loco passes the peaceful village Aich/Ennstal. The background is dominated by the Dachstein Massiv, pretty famous and impressive mountains!
Ennstal, Styria, Austria.
Funny, but 2 yeatrs ago I visited the same spot around the same time. Both on january 1st. Just like the shot from 2011 this was my first railpic of 2013! (Somehow funny, isn't it?)
