West Shore Trail at Hintersee

Highlight • Trail

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.

Hintersee — South Shore

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful lake with several bathing spots. A relatively flat hiking trail leads around the lake. You can stop off on the northern shore in the Seestübl.

July 27, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "Salzburg" - See-Nr. 9: Hintersee

I've circumnavigated the ninth-largest lake in the Austrian province of Salzburg.
However, it was only just over 5 km. 😅
Unfortunately, it rained the whole time 🌧️ and the paths were wet.
Numerous small waterfalls and streams were found everywhere.

The lake is ideal for swimming in many places. The water is clear, the entrance is often a bit rocky. The apricot cake at the kiosk at the swimming area was a dream.

On August 21, 2021 drive via Hof, Faistenau to Vorderesee to the parking lot near the Hintersee. From there hike around the lake. Fantastic weather and wonderful panorama. Walking time approx. 1 3/4 hours.

June 12, 2024,🇦🇹Der Hintersee in Faistenau

The Hintersee in Faistenau is a 5 km walk on good paths. A perfect tour considering a 13 year old, sprightly senior retriever. The sun is slowly breaking through the clouds and the weather is supposed to improve significantly from tomorrow. But as long as it's dry, we don't want to complain.
