peace at the dock | October 30, 2009

One of the most interesting things about Schönau am Königsee is the way it is situated on Lake Königsee. This tiny town is basically surrounded by the lake on three sides.

There is no right or wrong path to take, but you can stroll through the perimeter of the town and catch different views. The image in today's entry was captured from the dock in Schönau am Königsee; if you look at this image, the dock is the one with the flags, at center, a third of a distance away from the left of the frame.

What I loved about this place is how quaint it is. Sure, there are some tourists who visit this town daily, but it's what you make of the place that counts. There are plenty of spots to explore which are away from the bustle, and that's exactly what I did.

One of my quests in my travel adventures is to find peace. I found it in Schönau am Königsee. Near the end of my stay here, I sat down on the edge of the lake and meditated. In Schönau, the air is crisp and fresh. Invigorating. And except for the occasional quacking by ducks or the neighing of horses (there are a few barns in the area), it's very quiet. I think overall, this was my favourite place which I visited this summer.
