Austria Maria Alm alpine village

Maria Alm is a picturesque village in the Hochkönig region of Austria, surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Alps. In autumn, the village transforms into a beautiful landscape of golden and red hues, offering a perfect setting for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Hiking is a popular activity during this season.
Autumn is also the ideal time to explore the "Bauernfeste or Almabtriebe," a traditional festival where decorated cattle are brought down from the high pastures to celebrate the end of the alpine summer. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the region's cozy mountain huts offer local cuisine and spectacular views, making Maria Alm a perfect autumn getaway.

From this location you can get a great upper perspective of the mountain village Maria Alm without using a drone. Make sure to bring a wider angled lens to get the entire mountain panorama but also bring a telephoto lens to get some closer looks at the village or peaks!

To respect the privacy of the neighborhood I parked my car at the marked parking lot near the entrance of the village. Its just a very short walk from there to reach the spot.
