Lake Achensee


The cold mountain air is filled with the scent of freedom and peace. Only when you arrive, finally, in this surreal lakeside location will you realise what you have been missing out on. Only then will you discover the true meaning of peace and quiet.

Yet, all of a sudden, you are filled with certainty. You have found something that you have long been looking for. Something you have dreamt of without actually knowing its name. Something called home.

Reluctant to disturb the shimmering surface, you plunge your paddle into the water, shattering the mirror-like reflection, and set off, stroke by stroke, into the great outdoors.

Breathe. Relax. Freedom. And peace.
