A summer morning at Hintersee near Ramsau unfolds its quiet beauty in the first light of day. The sky turns a pale pink colour as the sun rises next to the Hochkalter and sends its golden rays across the crystal-clear lake like a sun star. The water is as smooth as glass - a perfect mirror for the deep green forests, the striking rock formations and the mighty Hochkalter in the background.
The colours of the lake alternate between emerald green and turquoise blue, interspersed with fine wafts of mist dancing across the surface. Every sound seems distant, muffled by the morning silence. Only the occasional chirping of birds or the gentle lapping of a wave breaks the peaceful silence.
A few old trees stand on the shore, their roots reaching into moss-covered stones, their crowns reflected in the water. The sun conjures up glittering reflections on the surface that sparkle like tiny diamonds. At this moment, the Hintersee seems to be from another world - timeless, silent and unspoilt. It is a moment in which nature speaks - quietly but forcefully. A perfect start to a summer's day in the Bavarian Alps.
