Edgar Allan Poe wrote long ago, "So lovely was the loneliness of a wild lake." Here at Mountain Moments, with all the beautiful, small, localized patches of water we have seen over the years, we can't and won't argue with this famous American poet. On this particular hiking route in the Bavarian Alps, these words will be proven multiple times, so check out our hiking route and join us on this backpacking nature thrill-hike.

The largest lake in Tyrol, Austria, Lake Achen (also called Lake Achensee) digs deep (133m) into our subconsciousness no matter if we are on it, or looking down on it from the Bärenkopf summit. Nature can be a pretty good therapist, so step into the office and explore the hiking trail of this 16-kilometer route.

In the Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy, you can find the astonishing treasure of the Three Peaks Nature Park, Lago di Landro. So beautiful, in fact, that the easiness of this route almost seems unfair to nature. But this hiking trail is more than accessible, and on it, you will find plenty of other Instagrammable material.
