The Saalbach-Hinterglemm valley runs east to west on the border between the Tyrolean and the Salzburger Alps in Austria. Neither steep nor elevated in altitude, the region is well known for its forest trails, toboggan runs and unspoilt scenery and like many valleys in the Tyrol, they are normally dead-end routes from off the main road networks. This watercolour represents the view due west at the end of the valley up past Hinterglemm towards a small hamlet beside the Saalach river, Lengau. The distinctive spike-like peak in the background is called Staffkogel.
