Hinderstockesee

Hinderstockesee, nestled in Erlenbach im Simmental, Switzerland, is a picturesque alpine reservoir that captivates photo-travelers with its serene beauty and unspoiled natural surroundings. This hidden gem is not as widely known as other Swiss lakes, providing a tranquil setting for photographers looking to capture unique landscapes without the crowds. Best visited during late spring to early autumn when the surrounding meadows are lush and the mountain peaks are still capped with snow, offering a stunning contrast. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for capturing the golden light that accentuates the lake's vivid blues and the dramatic backdrop of the Swiss Alps. Hiking trails around the lake offer diverse vantage points for photography enthusiasts to explore. Additionally, the changing seasons provide a variety of photographic opportunities, from lush green landscapes in summer to magical frost-covered scenes in winter. Remember to bring your camera's polarizing filter to cut through the glare on the water and capture the lake's true colors.
