Hochschwab

September 2016 Schiestlhaus, Hochschwab, Styria, Austria Morning view south from Hochschwab summit (alt. 2.227 meters) in the middle of Hochschwab mountain range. It is the most northern part of Alps which rises over 2.000 meters of altitude. There are basically no lifts in the Hochschwab, so you can enjoy it in its natural state. In September the weather is quite stable (although quite windy and freezing in the morning in the top parts) and only few tourists which get such rewarding views for the pain of hiking it by own feet. There is nice mountain hut called Schiestlhaus only 70 alt. meters below the Hochschwab summit, so you can get to the top both for the sunset or sunrise.

September 2016 Sackwiesensee, Hochschwab, Steiermark land, Austria Sackwiesensee is a small hidden mountain lake just under the main ridge of Hochschwab mountain range. It is located in altitude of 1.414 meters. It is few hours hike southwest from the Schiestlhaus and totally worth due to the variable countryside (barren limestone plateau with grassy meadows, green scrub pine forrests, classical mountain forrests) and less crowded hiking routes (namely ať the end of the season). Sackwiesensee offers a great natural swimming opportunity, although it is quite cold being a mountain lake.

This little, incredible green and blue lake which is hidden in Upper Styria got famous by Ashton Kutcher who posted pictures of it last year! Even though tourists come in thousands each day now, it is still an idyllic place and you can even dive there and the water level chances constantly. #WeekendGetaway #Waterlust
