The panorama, which I had already seen in photos of the Schafkogelsee, finally drew us here. It's the Totes Gebirge mountain range, which beautifully frames and reflects in the artificial reservoir at over 1,800 meters above sea level. A hiking trail with plenty of seating leads around the lake. The lake also offers a beautiful view from the Schafkogel peaks above.

Hiking

In real much nicer. Sit down, take a deep breath and enjoy.
Great motifs for amateur photographers.

Unfortunately, this impressive backdrop cannot be captured and conveyed in a photo. The personal live recording is nowhere near that. This detour is a must when visiting the region
