On my CIRCULAR PATH around the Hintersee in Ramsau, I am immersed in a frosty, beautiful winter landscape and in a deeply snow-covered magic forest.

Our plan was to go around the beautiful Hintersee, with a connection to the magic forest 🥾, unfortunately it is closed, what a pity☹️. So it was only a short circuit, but still beautifully situated. Praiseworthy!

After the Swiss hike to the Watzmannhaus, we needed a little walk without any elevation gain. @Manu really wanted to refresh old memories here. It's great that you can walk around this lake so well.

September 6, 2021,Family day: Einmal um den See

Today the family was allowed to decide on the course of the day. In the morning to the beautiful Bad Reichenhall and in the afternoon a round of the fine Hintersee and all that at a comfortable holiday pace.
