A laid back trip to the lake

Well, it's been a while since I went to Gmunden, but I wanted to photoblog about it. =) It was a pretty laid back trip and it was in fact an all-girls trip :D We just thought of going somewhere relaxing somewhere pretty and a place to hang out away from town. And so, we went to the lake in Gmunden which is quite a big lake that eventually branch out to a river here in Wels too. At first, I thought it will be just another lake you know what could you expect more from a lake. haha

But I was all wrong.. it was really pretty and cool, not only the fact that the water is so blue haha We had our lunch at Da Vinci's and had a good girls chat :) Then, we head out to take a stroll along the lakeside. We could see many people walking around, sitting by the lake, kids playing at the playground, old folks walking their dogs and some teenagers hanging out by the benches too. We walked over to the end and visited a small castle where we could see and feel the lake even better :D

Were having lunch and having the all-girls chat ;)

It was definitely a good day with nice weather to visit the lake. It was sunny but not too hot which was cool.

Yes, there are many people sitting and hanging out by the lakeside. Something like Gurney drive. Just that the view here are beyond beautiful haha :p

This photo looks like the couple are drawn into their very own world and left the kid aside.

That was the castle we are heading to. It seems like a small island protruding the lake isn't it.

I guess the water are so clear that it reflects the very blue sky and turns out pretty ;) The colours of the photos are not edited so it's pure blue.

Sitting by the lake enjoying the view and wind, listening to the water splashing. Love the sound of the water hitting the rocks. Never fail to give me that sense of tranquil =)

You can go for yachting or motorboat ride. But of course, you have to own ur own yacht but you could rent the motorboat and drive out urself.

There are few of this statue along the way. Enjoying not only the beauty of the lake but the art of statues too lol

I suppose those are the private boats and yacht.

On the street, there is this display at the roadside along the way. Each separated between few metres and in each of the box you'll find different displays. This is the cutest and most interesting of all. haha

Walking through the little woods before reaching the castle. Such nature. =)

Tadaa.. here we are.. the small castle at the end.

It's as if the island is there just for the castle. Standing on the bridge in between two sides of the lakeview is amazing. I could spend my time there just standing and enjoying the breeze ;)

I've no idea what is the name of this castle. Probably not that famous. It's just a place for visit while you're strolling at the lake.

On one side of the bridge you could see all the housing area at the other side of the lake actually. Look at the small deck, there's a bench which actually looks like a rocking chair. You can lie down on it like you're at the beach and rock ur way to and fro :D we were talking about it saying that why didn't they provide 10 more of those for us. haha that one bench is always occupied so, you'll need to wait for ur turn which is impossible. lol

On the other side of the bridge was the mountainside view. That's the motorboat ride you could rent and go around the lake as you like. Yes, you drive the boat yourself.

So, this is the internal of the castle. nothing much though.

But from what I heard it is famous for a wedding to be held here which I think could be pretty awesome too with all those views and classic feel of this castle.

This is the wedding agency if you want to have your wedding here :)

Outside the castle, you get to go down and sit by the lake which I did and the sound of the water splashing are even greater here :D

Then, we decided we should go for a motorboat ride. It was a great timing for a ride in the evening.

Moving towards the castle and trying to see if we could reach the most end of the lake haha

We met some seagulls :D or maybe we scared them off. haha We threw some pizza pieces we dabao earlier on but they don't want to eat. Love this photo a lot, the seagull flying away :))

This is their resting place or could be their playing ground...training ground? lol

When the sun goes down, it became colder and colder. I love this photo too because of the mountain contour colour like we used to learn in Pendidikan Seni, far distance object will be lighter in colour :D

We had a great time out at the lake. Time to head back to the deck :)

Can you see the tiny whinny moon? :D It's almost seven I think but it still looks bright though.

So, there goes the laid back trip which indeed I will not forget for its beauty and peace. =)
