In a winter with little snow, i was able to visit the Wiedersbergalm in December and take this photo without using my touring skis. My approach was to depect the combination of unfortunately already past Alpine architecture with a massive naturale backdrop. This almost inconspicuous hut covers fearfully beneath tousend - meter - high limestone walls to protect itself from thonderstorms, falling rocks and avalanches. This photo already has historical value because, according to the municipality of Mühlbach, it was demolished because it was supposedly in a dangerous avalanche path.
In this photograph, you can see a long cause-way leading to the Baradari. This building is part of the Hiran Minar Complex. This garden was constructed during the time of Mughal emperor Jahangir in about 1606 A.D. In memory of his pet antelope, named Mansraj.

On the opposite side of the narrow valley, one can see the unusual farm buildings of the monastery in the form of large Ukrainian huts. In fact, the roofs of these buildings are nothing more than protruding rocks, to which only one wall was added, and a large barn turned out. Monks breed there all kinds of livestock for food: chickens, turkeys, geese. There are also vegetable stores and other utility rooms.

На противоположной стороне узкой долины видны необычные хозяйственные строения монастыря в виде больших украинских хат. На самом деле крыши этих строений не что иное, как выступающие скальные породы, к которым только пристроили одну стену, и получился большой сарай. Монахи разводят там всякую живность для пропитания: кур, индюков, гусей. Там же расположены овощехранилища и другие подсобные помещения.

History
John C. Fremont and Kit Carson made the first known Anglo exploration of Antelope Island in 1845. The Island was named after the explorers observed several pronghorn antelope grazing on the rangelands.
Fielding Garr established the first permanent residence on the island in 1848. The ranch house he built is the oldest Anglo-built structure in Utah still on its original foundation.
The island and ranch passed from owner to owner until 1981 when the State of Utah purchased the 28,000-ace island for a State Park.
Geology
Antelope Island is part of what is known as the Basin and Range, stretching from the Wasatch mountains on the east to the Sierra Nevada mountain range on the west. Antelope Island is the largest island on Great Salt Lake at just over 28,000 acres, stretching 15 miles long and about 5 miles wide.
The oldest exposed rocks on the island are from the Farmington Canyon Complex, called gneiss. These metamorphic rocks have been dated to 1.7 billion years old, and are the same age as rocks found at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. These rocks can be seen on the southern two-thirds of the island.
Tintic Quartzite, found on the northern one-third of the island, is 550 million years old and was deposited in a shallow marine environment. This metamorphic rock can be seen around the Park’s visitor center, Lady Finger Point and Buffalo Point.
The youngest rocks on the island are tufa, a sedimentary rock deposited from concentrations of calcium carbonate during the time of Lake Bonneville. Tufa deposits typically resemble concrete and can be viewed from the Buffalo Point Trail.
Wildlife
Although surrounded by saltwater, Antelope Island has over 40 freshwater springs producing enough water to support the island’s abundant wildlife.
Bison are the most famous residents. Twelve animals were brought to the island in 1893 and were the foundation for today’s herd of 550 – 700. An annual bison roundup is held each fall to assess the health of the herd and sell extra animals.
Pronghorn antelope are native to Utah and to the island. These small, deer-like animals are the fastest animals in North America and can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.
Mule deer and bighorn sheep are the other large herbivores on the island. Predators include coyotes, badgers, bobcats, and numerous birds of prey such as owls, hawks and falcons.
