Ooh, a Common Adder (Kreuzotter in German, that's how I know it). Wonderful photos.
A 30 mm macro lens and these photos?! Wow! Your hands (camera) must have been right on top of the snake. Did it ever strike at you?

Yes, when I take these pictures, I do it very close, and I have had to practice it every summer, personally I recommend not to go near this snake, because many of them are very fast, some are slow, and they can jump far to bite , when taking pictures here, I always have my camera bag next to me as a protective shield, I always peek over the bag or under the bag at him. :)) this snakes is not joke ;)
