I was going to work to our construction site in Upper Austria near Braunau and was passing between three small lakes. It was a beautiful sunny morning and this mist has added the magic in the air.

The Grand Vizier Mehmed-pasha Sokolović had the Arslanagić Bridge built on the river Trebišnjica, and it was opened in 1574.
It was built to connect Bosnia with the Adriatic, primarily with Novi (today's Herceg Novi, which was then part of the Bosnian vilayet) and Dubrovnik.
The bridge was named after an Arslan-aga [1] who escaped from Herceg Novi after it was captured by the Venetians in 1687. He received a concession from the Ottoman authorities to collect the toll, so he built a house next to the bridge, next to which later grew an entire settlement called Arslanagići, which is flooded today.
At the end of the Second World War, more precisely in 1944, the Chetniks tried to demolish the bridge. During the explosion, only the left wing of the bridge, about 8 meters long, was destroyed, which was replaced by a narrow concrete strip after the war. [2] [3]
After the construction of the hydroelectric power plant and the accumulation lake - in 1965 the bridge was flooded, but the following year, the water level was lowered so that it could be dismantled, stone by stone. It lay in the nearby field for a long time, so it was rebuilt from 1970 to 1972, this time 10 km downstream almost in the center of Trebinje, since then it has been one of its biggest attractions. [1]
With the outbreak of the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993, by the decision of the then mayor of Trebinje - Božidar Vučurević, the name of the bridge was changed to Perović Bridge. This is explained by some allegations that the descendants of Arslan-aga were actually Perovićs before converting to Islam. Formally, it is still called that today, although most experts still call it by its old name.

Zinkenkopf (Zinkenkogel, Zinken)
Der Zinkenkopf ist der nördliche Vorgipfel des Roßfelds, eines nordstreifenden Nebengrates des Göllmassivs, der Salzach und Berchtesgadener Ache trennt.
Er ist der Hausberg der Stadt Hallein und des Dorfes Bad Dürrnberg wie auch des Berchtesgadener Ortsteils Oberau, erhebt sich im Salzachtal eher unscheinbar im Kamm, von der Stadt Salzburg als Vorklapf des Gölls, stellt sich aber in der wuchtigen Bergumrahmung des Berchtesgadener Talkessels als kleine, doch markante pyramidenförmige Spitze dar.
