Kriegsbrucke over the Drau River in Villach, Carinthia (Austria)

Where through the mats wonderful green,
the rapid floods of the Drau river,
from the monkshood, where snow-covered
Nordgau's Alpine chain stretches,
to the Karawanks rock face
my friendly homeland stretches out.

Excerpt from Carinthian homeland song
