We stopped at the Stoffelalm. They brew their own excellent beer, the food is really good, and the young waitresses are very friendly. 👍👍

Back at the Wilder Kaiser ☺️...

Today we hiked from Lake Hintersteiner to the Walleralm, accompanied by steady rain. The view of Lake Hintersteiner was once again beautiful: the water was completely still, reflecting the surrounding mountains in the lake. We arrived at the Walleralm in the rain and decided to stop at the Stöfflhütte, as it offered outdoor seating under a roof – a rustic …

From the Seestüberl through the forest and over the Alm to the Kreuzbichl. From there it is only a short distance to the Walleralm. Then back via the Adlerweg to the lake and on the south side of the lake again to the Seestüberl. This is easy to reach with the hiking bus from Scheffau.

Hike Hintersteinersee, start at the outdoor pool car park at Hintersteinersee, towards Walleralm. Beautiful hiking trails with views of the lake. Made a small EKS with cold drinks at the Walleralm. Then to Kreuzbichl (summit cross) 1200m. Then descended back into the valley to the Hintersteinersee. Hiked back to the parking lot along the shore.

Hike from the idyllic Hintersee lake to the Walleralm pasture with the Kreuzbichel peak. Even the starting point is inspiring, as the lake is known to many as the filming location for "The Mountain Doctor." From the summit of Kreuzbichel, a stunning panoramic view of the Tyrolean mountains offered itself. The hikers' bus took them from Going to Scheffau.
