Obersee

[John Holland]

Obersee is a natural lake that is only accessible by foot, and that is after a boat ride on Konigssee. Both lakes are located in the base of the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden, Germany. The images below are multiple frames stitched together (shot with polarizing filter to cut the water glare).

If you hike around the lake to the southern shore you get this view looking back to the north

Wow, what an incredible place. I'd love to live in that cabin...at least in the spring and summer. Beautiful photography, John.

 

[John Holland]

Thank you Rob. I agree with you that this would be a great place in the spring and summer times. I would expect the winters to be a bit cold. The cabin in the second image is a boat dock; there is a cabin (functions as a seasonal snack stand) behind the camera.

I'd love to live there!

Beautifully done, John.
