At Seibersdorf (CBP3F) - the installation is behind a locked gate.

The installation at Siegensdorf (CBP3G) - this fence was later replaced
with a much more robust fence using metal poles and barbed wire. We installed
here in a small nature reserve with the permission of local authorities.

The Gross Gehrungs site (CBP4B) at installation - the northwestern station on the edge of the Bohemian Massif

The installation at Raxendorf (CBP4C) in waterlogged ground, required a permanent
drain to keep the sensor above the water table.

Voestenhof (CBP4F) sited on glacial till apparently - pebbles and boulders in silty sand. This fence was later upgraded as the farmer intended to keep cows in the field.

Wiesmath (CBP4G) - southernmost station in Austria. The sensor is under the large stones just to the left of the demountable cabin. The cabin is permanently powered for use as a meteorological station.
