Congratulations, Mourits!
C. austriaca is a very cool species indeed. I still remember finding my first Coronella as one of the greatest moments in my life! :D viewtopic.php?f=11&t=303

Thanks, Tom!
I've wanted to find one since I many years ago read that they lived in Denmark once and got extinct due to destroying of their natural enviroment, that maked me interested in them, and since then, I kept staring at pictures and reading about them from time to time.
It was a really great moment for me too, and after about 8 hours of exhausting targeted search, it was a true pleasure to flip the large stone over, and spot the beautiful snake! :D

-The individual you found is also a true wonder of a snake! :)
