Just outside of Salzburg, in Bavaria, Germany, is beautiful Thumsee, a small Alpine lake surrounded by mountains. It is not mentioned in most tour books and I'm glad it is still a secret that I share with only several thousand others. It’s Bad Reichenhall’s hiking area, swimming hole and ice skating pond. I found it in 2007 quite fortuitously en route to Innsbruck. It was truly love at first sight and I return to Thumsee as often as I can.
Freud and his family were also frequent visitors to Thumsee and he called it “a little piece of paradise.” It makes my heart soar to marvel in its beauty and peace. It is one of my favorite places to commune with Nature.
I understand the lake, the boathouse and a huge home are for sale for a couple of million Euros. If you buy it, you must promise to keep it as beautiful as it is!
Martha this is marvelous. The photography is lovely and your subjects are inspiring. I just spent a delightful hour browsing through your trip and viewing Austria through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteStay happy and you and David just enjoy life.

Thanks, Terry...remember when I took you and Linda to Thumsee, thinking it was Spring and we would see the trees blossoming? Overnight it snowed about a foot and we awakened to a magical wonderland of white! I will never forget that beautiful sight.
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff. I've never seen such incredible fall colors here in Austria. Great job on the photos!
