Switzerland Altmannsattel
It uses some energy to get up here but the view of Hundstein and Fählental is great. And what really makes this place is a large (30+) colony of capricorns which is around here quite regularly. A great place to have a break and watch this amazing scene.
Photography Tips
take wide and long lens, no tripod needed - the capricorns will only be here in the morning and in the evening (during the afternoon you have a better chance of seeing them on the shady side of the mountain range)
