I am a curious person and whenever there is a secret I want to find out about it. 😌
So…

…I have heard about this secret spot in Austria: a tiny village, half an island, located at a spectacular lake, next to the mountains. With a century old nuns monastery. Over time they became wealthy thanks to trading salt. 
🐚I heard in the old nuns cells there is a specialty: a 
chamber of wonders which a collector has gathered over the years: mysterious beauty of stones, creatures, art.
📍Wunderkammer Traunkirchen is accessible only with guided tours via @wunderkammertk

🌊One of the most bizarre artworks is in the old church: A carved waterfall, covered with silver to imitate the reflection of water. 

📍Pfarrkirche Mariä Krönung, Traunkirchen

👀I lurked into the church to see what it is?!

⛵️It’s a pulpit formed like a boat with rowers trying to carry big nets full of fish, and there is Jesus in the boat, teaching his friends. 
🦞Do you see the lobster? 
Its on the soundproofing cover, representing the Jesuit Saint Franz Xaver who was on a mission in East Asia.
Very rare to see such a crazy ship like artwork!!

Honestly sometimes the bizarre ideas of baroque make me smile … and laugh. Would we allow ourselves to be that playful and full of phantasy today? 💡

With this thought I am walking through the village to my next spot.
🏔️Mount „Traunstein“ towers above everything. He got the name from the river „Traun“ which also is the godparent for the lake called „Traunsee“ and the village „Traunkirchen“

🧜🏻‍♂️ whenever I see a beautiful alpine lake, I need to channel my inner Neptune and jump into the water. 
Actually the water here is crystal clear and had around 19 degrees, even now in autumn 🍂

This hotel 📍 „Das Traunsee“ @dastraunsee is located directly at the lake. You can jump directly into the clear water like I did. 
Their breakfast is also a masterpiece. I travel a lot, but this breakfast is beyond!

How could I capture the essence of this place? 
📍 most beautiful graveyard, right next to the church of Traunkirchen

The hotel offers water color courses for their guests. What a lovely idea! I tried my skills.

Ufff! Quite out of practice.
