Austria The lonely trees

Dienten is a picturesque mountain village near the majestic Hochkönig mountain in the Austrian Alps. Known for its traditional alpine charm, the town offers breathtaking panoramic views, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Dienten is part of the Hochkönig ski area, providing access to extensive slopes in winter, while in summer, it transforms into a haven for hikers and mountain bikers. The village retains a quiet, authentic atmosphere, providing visitors with a peaceful retreat amidst stunning natural landscapes.

Bring a telezoom lens (70-200, for example) to look at these iconic trees in front of the Hochkönig mountain ridge. In the morning, you can get some very soft light. In the evening, you might be lucky to get some alpine glow.

I parked my car near the road. No specific parking lot exists, so do not block the car or somebody's private driveway. Dienten is located between the villages of Mühlbach and Maria Alm.
