Photography Tips
Pretty much any time of the day is good at this location; however, mid-late afternoon is best for photographing the reflection in the lake.
There are alteady a lot of possibilities to take beautiful photos from the Rosengarten while hiking from Weisslahnbad to this spot.
During the winter season the pond is usually frozen which does not allow to take photos with a nice reflection.

Travel Information
You cannot drive to this spot and instead need to hike.
The fastest way is to go by car until Weisslahnbad where you will find a parking at upper end of the small village (at the roundabout you have to drive left) where you find a lot of parking possibilities.
From there it's a hike of about 45min on an unpaved road (which is partially quite steep).
Alternatively it is also not a long hike from Tiers or from the Guesthouse "Schönblick".
You get the most out of this spot if you take a hike (approx 11km) from Schönblick, up the mountain on path 7A to the Tschafon hut (where excellent food and drinks are available) and then on path 4 further up to the summit - the Völseggspitze. From there, you hike back down to the Tschafon hut and then from there back in the direction of Schönblick, but this time following path 4. On the way down you come across this lake/pond which beautifully reflects the Rosengarten mountain range. From there, continue along path 4 until you come to a small church San Sebastiano. From here you take path 6 back to Schönblick.
