Jaga, It is off topic, away from the Iron Men in the mountains, but I ran across this Polish anti-litering video on a Slovak site. It may require solving a riddle "written backwards" sdrawkcab nettirw" that is easy to answer if you read right to left. Perhaps you can find the original video on a Polish site... www.mojevideo.sk/video/1a6d9/nerobte_to_v_lese.html |

Kai, great pictures. I could not open the video but I could read what it meant "Do not do it in the forest". Sudeten mountains were affected by industrial centers in Poland, Eastern Germany and Czech Republic. I remember visiting these mountains in 80s. It was hard to believe how much devastation (twisted trees with no leaves) was there.
