Vipera berus
Almost black viper sunbathing 50-65cm, likely a female due to its size and that it's black, the zigzag-pattern was only visible on an angle. Almost stepped on it, but it gave off a sharp hiss to warn me. This one was very quick due to being in the sun for a long time, but managed to get some photos before it went away.
Dense spruce forest, in an opening creating grassland.
