The Hinterstockensee lies at an altitude of 1,595 meters in a rock basin of a cirque on the south side of the Stockhorn. The diameter of the Hinterstockensee is about 300 meters, its area six hectares. The water flows under 40 meters of rocks and emerges as Wildenbach after about eight hours in the Klusi at 1,300 meters.

Hinterstockensee

Highlight • Lake

The Hinterstockensee is often confused with the Vorderstockensee due to its location. The Hinterstockensee is the one with the island in the middle and is located directly below the middle station. Since the majority of tourists come up by cable car, the misconception quickly arises that this is the front lake. Incidentally, both lakes invite you to swim and barbecue, and when there is no wind, the surrounding mountains are reflected crystal clear on their surfaces. A top-class photo opportunity that no camera can resist. Those devoted to fishing will also get their money's worth here.

Karst Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

What is karst? Karst is rugged limestone.

Origin: The soluble limestone is eroded by the weathering and the slightly acid rain. This creates cracks, crevices, gullies and caves in the rock.

Water network: The water can be drawn through the openings directly into the depths and drain in the heavily ramified underground water network.
