The Road from Abtenau, Austria to Gorgeous Gosausee

Gosausee, Austria is another of my favorite places. It's a lake surrounded by mountains, with a view of a glacier or two, charming hillside huts, a great place to take a hike around the lake and a spectacular place to view stars. Most of these photos were taken through the windshield of the car (don't worry, I was not driving). While most of the road is basically flat and running through farm pastures and fields, it is often only wide enough for one car. Beautiful sights continually present themselves, kilometer after kilometer, every time of year. As we got closer to the lake, I found the frosted trees thrilling.
