Semi-gloomy Austrian lakes to be precise.
Hallstatt, Salzkammergut, Austria
Here’re photos of our Europe 2015 trip after we left Salzburg. From that nice sunny morning in Salzburg, we made our journey southwards to hopefully catch an equally sunny afternoon in the delightful ‘lake district’ of Austria, Salzkammergut, before heading for the borders of Slovenia! Unfortunately, the further south we went, the cloudier it became. See for yourself.
First lake on our journey, Fuschlsee
The place in this photo was just by the road of where we stopped at Fuschlsee. I Googled Map it last week, and guess what I found. It’s the friggin Head Quarters of Red Bull, the energy drink! Red Bull GmbH. What a surprise!
Second lake, Wolfgangsee
Third lake, Hallstätter See
Hallstatt (on the shores of its namesake) is a picturesque lakeside village in Austria. The news of its charm eventually reached China. And then there’s no turning back. The Chinese loved it so much that they started building a replica of the entire friggin village complete with parish church and all! Don’t believe me, Google it! No wonder the place was thronging with Chinese tourists when we visited!
And this is what Hallstatt looks like in better weather, and with a better photographer – picture ‘borrowed’ from Wikipedia compliments of http://www.csakany.com/pics/2007EuroTrip/files/hallstatt.jpg. Now you know why the Chinese love it
Justin at Walchsee – OK, this ‘See’ (lake) is not on the same leg of journey as the others in this post. The other lakes are all in Salzkammergut, on the day we travelled from Salzburg to Slovenia. Walchsee on the other hand, is near the German border, when we were making our way from Austria back to Munich to fly back to Dubai. We stopped here for lunch en route to Munich to meet Sister Kim’s family for the first time!
A hotel near Walchsee – Seehotel Brunner (I found that out from Google Map!)
Our fish lunch, Walchsee, Tyrol, Austria
