The European Fire Sale

The Independent, via nc links:
#8: Austria
Alps (almost)
The Government caused a public outcry in June when it put two mountains up for sale for a combined price of €121,000. Local opposition to the plan to sell Rosskopf (2,600m) and its neighbour, Grosse Kinigat (2,700m) forced a climb-down. But a minister said the mountains could go on sale again in the future.
Selling 2 mountains?  If I had 121,000 euros to blow, I'd consider buying them.
