fantastic lakes & mountains in Austria 🇦🇹

Austria has so much to offer, one can easily spend weeks in this small but mighty country! Lakes: Austria is known for its beautiful teal lakes with amazing views. Hallstatt is the most famous lake with a postcard view of the town attached to the lake. The church in town is a beautiful and tall honey-hued building that can be spotted a mile away. We choose to stay in Grundlsee because of its famous hotel attached to the lake. MODI Resort Grundless was fully booked when we arrived. Its easy to see why, the hotel is on a hill overlooking the lake, allowing guests to take in the vastness of the lake from a vantage point. Every room in this hotel comes with a kitchen and traditional decoration with unique carpets and curtain. It make me feel like I was living in a storybook. This hotel is expensive during holidays The most exciting attraction was the SchafbergBahn up to Schafberg. The steam train slowly carried passengers up the hill and we arrived at this beautiful peak surrounded by all 7 major lakes in the area. Once the fog cleared, the mountain offered a panoramic view of the entire lake area with teal lakes glistening under the sun. The train ticket is quite expensive, around 40 euros round trip but highly recommended!
