The 35 participants travelled in this year’s seminar week to the Austrian Kleinwalsertal valley to present the state and progress in current research at the “Darmstädter Haus” in Hirschegg. The discussion and question sessions following the short lectures provided thereby an intensive discourse on the individual topics. Following the professional program, the working group was offered an ideal setting for group activities. Amongst other things, the group climbed to the top of the neighbouring Walmendingerhorn, which allowed for a view over the Kleinwalsertal valley.
