Schrecksee Lake, Nebelhorn Mountain & Magenta Flowers

This image of Schrecksee Lake and Nebelhorn Mountain was taken close to the grassy ridge at the eastern end of Schrecksee lake. I used some alpine flowers to frame the lake and add a splash of color to the shot. To get to this location, you'll need access to a car and be aware that the hike will take about 5 hours round trip and it has many vertical climbs, too. Leave your car in the Parkplatz Auf der Höh (47.474547, 10.416628). Be sure to get there early during peak summer months because the car park will fill up fast! Follow the path (and then tarmac road) up the valley until you reach a building that appears to be a water power station, then take the trail that leads up to your left. The climb through the trees is steep, but flattens out over the meadows. Continue the climb until you reach Schrecksee. Once you reach the lake, turn left and climb up towards the grassy ridge to get a good vantage point back down toward the water and its picturesque island.
