Three tiny islands in Lake Hintersee are an enchanting place near Ramsau, Upper Bavaria. The water is so clear, that you can see through it.

Photography Tips
The best time to go is the blue hour. Bring your tripod, wide-angle lens, and UV filter. The use of a polarizer and ND filters is helpful to get a clean mirroring. Be prepared that there are usually lots of photographers.
For both Stones in one Pic you need 17mm for the full frame, or 11mm for APSC. In summer the best time is sunrise, in winter sunset, because in winter the sun isn't as high as the mountain.
