Missa St. Florian

In springtime the last isolated snowflakes fall on the everlasting ice of the glacier of the Dachstein. At the foot of this impressive mountain, the sun has already driven away the icy winter cold and the valley now boasts a beneficial heat and for the first time again one can hear the traditional folksong so typical for that region. As if by magic, sources bubble up from the earth and change the forest landscape into an impetuous stream. However, as quickly as the sources were born, they run dry and, some weeks later there is only moist moss on the forest earth left, as a silent witness of some sparkling life. A real wonder of nature!
