Crossword-Solution: DACHSTEIN 9 letters, 3 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 15

From the bare summit you look right into the face of the huge, snowy Dachstein, with the wild lake of Gosau gleaming at its foot; and far away on the other side your vision ranges over a confusion of mountains, with all the white peaks of the Tyrol stretched along the horizon.

Whenever a new peak came into sight he asked if that were the Dachstein, and, finally, refused to accompany the party to the waterfall.

Obviously he expected the ascent of the Dachstein to be the object of the excursion, and was vexed by not getting a glimpse of the mountain.

The peace of the landscape purified his soul of its irritability, though he wished that the Dachstein would not dominate so persistently the sky-line--it was difficult to avoid the view of this solitary and egotistic peak, the highest in Styria.

Whenever a new mountain came in sight the boy asked, "Is that the Dachstein?" The oftener this question was answered in the negative, the more moody he became; later he became entirely silent and would not take part in a small climb to a waterfall.
