If there's one thing this castle hotel stayed true to from its advertisements, it's the breathtaking view from the top floors. Now, standing in front of the massive arched window in my room, I can see Starfall Lake in all its awe-inspiring beauty.
They say that at night, the lake transforms into a mirror, capturing the stars in the sky—and they were right. The still surface reflects the heavens above, creating an endless sea of shimmering stars that feels almost magical. The moonlight dances across the water, casting delicate silver ripples that stretch out into the horizon. The lake is so vast that it seems to blend with the night sky, as if the boundaries between earth and space have completely dissolved.
I open the window slightly, letting the fresh, crisp night air flow into the room. It's cool, refreshing, and carries with it the revitalizing scent of pine and cold water. I close my eyes, inhaling deeply, letting the tranquility wash over me.
