The Astbergsee, idyllically situated on the Goinger Astberg, is a place of peace and inspiration. Here, where the fresh mountain air invigorates the senses and nature unfolds its full splendour, you will find the Lieblingsplatzl - a modest bench that invites you to linger.
The bench stands in the foreground of the photo, simple yet symbolic. The word "Lieblingsplatzl" is emblazoned on it, and it is no coincidence that it was placed right here. This bench offers a breathtaking view of the majestic Wilder Kaiser, which is reflected in the clear waters of the Astbergsee lake. The first rays of sunshine of the day bathe the bench in a warm light and invite you to pause for a moment.
The decision to take the photo in black and white emphasises the timeless beauty of this place. The contrasts between light and shadow, the clear lines of the mountains and the reflection in the lake - all of this is particularly emphasised in this monochrome image.
Those who linger at the Astbergsee will not only find a favourite spot, but also a source of inspiration. The silence, the vastness and the beauty of nature invite you to leave everyday life behind and be in harmony with the mountains.
