The Hintersee in Salzburger Land is an insider tip for nature lovers and is located in a hidden side valley. The 5 km long, family-friendly circular hiking trail, which is suitable for prams, impresses with its unspoilt, freely accessible shore zones. But also in winter, the Hintersee offers a fantastic opportunity for winter hiking and enjoying the snow-covered landscape along the lake.

The tour ended up being even longer than I thought... covered more kilometers than I wanted 😜 I set off without any specific preparation because I mistakenly assumed that the maypole would be erected in Faistenau. Luckily my landlords enlightened me in time🙏Well... we all set off in sandals, and then rushed back because it was getting dark... so no …
