It's #WahrzeichenWednesday again and this week we are headed to #Oberösterreich. Pictured here is the Schiederweiher pond in Hinterstoder with the Spitzmauer and Großen Priel mountains in the background. Known as the pearl of the Stoder valley, it was voted as the most beautiful place in Austria on the 2018 season of Austrian public broadcaster ORF's series "9 Plätze - 9 Schätze." The approximately 5 acre lake was actually constructed as an artificial pond by Hofbaumeister Johann Schieder between 1897 and 1902. It is only about 5 feet deep.
