The 36 Most Beautiful Lakes in the World, From Luxurious Vacation Spots in Italy to Hidden Wonders in Myanmar
"It’s hard to choose just one beautiful lake in Austria, but our vote goes to Mondsee, about 20 miles east of Salzburg. The site is a popular stop on the original Sound of Music tour (which departs from the city center of Salzburg), as the town’s basilica served as the filming location for Maria’s wedding in the 1965 film. Film buffs should certainly visit the church, but be sure to save time to admire the lake’s reflective waters from the end of one of the seagull-lined piers." - Caitlin Morton
