Power place hike 2: Rantensee

A wonderful hike with picturesque landscapes around the beautiful Rantensee
In the silence lies the expanse that opens up to the sky. Connecting earth and sky, the starry sky is reflected in the mirror of Lake Ranten. Immersed in the soul depths of the earth, the moon expands and becomes silent in the fullness of the night. In the kiss of the morning sun, the moon retreats into the heavens and the light of the day spreads to the rhythm of the earth. Flattering, illuminating and all-encompassing. Until the moonlight leads the day back into the silence of the night. In the cycle of lights of heaven and earth – in the rhythm of life.”
