Summer temperatures have finally hit Europe. And while it’s great to have 30+ degrees on a beach, in the cities, it’s something completely different. On days like these, there’s nothing better than a quick getaway from the city and the heat. So why not head to one of the prettiest lakes in Austria, and a very hidden one as well: the Obernberger See.

The last weeks, weather has been crazy and in some parts of Tyrol, it actually snowed, just shortly before May began. When there were finally two short days of sun after weeks of rain, I decided to make the most of my free Thursday and went on a little walk along the Möserer See.

Mid-November, I went hiking with my sister near the Nordkette. As the cable car is not operating during November to prepare for the winter season, we decided to hike to one of the lodges that are not too far up the mountain and easily reachable from the valley station. There are numerous ones, but we opted for the Umbrüggler Alm, as we've never been there before.
