Austria’s Most Beautiful Lake #8
Weekend escape
Sometimes, all you need is a change of scenery.
And sometimes, that scenery just happens to be one of the most stunning places in Austria.
I recently spent a weekend at what might be the country’s most beautiful lake. Nestled between mountains and forests, far from the city’s rush, it offered exactly what I’d been craving: fresh air, still water, and the kind of quiet that clears your head.
Yes, it was about ten degrees colder than in Vienna. But somehow, the chill made it better. The air felt cleaner. The colors sharper. The light softer. Everything slowed down — in the best possible way.
I spent my time walking along the shore, listening to the water, watching the clouds drift past the peaks. There wasn’t much to do — and that was exactly the point. No deadlines, no distractions. Just the landscape, the lake, and a bit of stillness.
But enough words — some places speak best through pictures.
Here are a few frames from this short but memorable escape.
