This drone image was taken with a south-facing perspective of Stausse Mooserboden, looking onto the water and alpine mountains.
To get to the location of where you'll launch your drone, you'll need to drive, then take a cable car up to the mountain. First, park your car in the Parkplatz P1 Kitzsteinhorn parking area (47.229488, 12.727728) at the bottom of the reservoir station.
From there, you'll get on the Gletscherjet cable car along the Gletscherjet I Line. Take the cable car all the way to the last stop and then launch your drone east from the GPS coordinates to get this view of Stausee Mooserboden.
