Mountain hikes Hintersteiner See circular walk

Crystal-clear mountain lake and magnificent views of the Wilder Kaiser’s western summits

Description

The starting point for this circular hike is the car park on the eastern shore of Lake Hinterstein (890 m) at the Café Restaurant Seestüberl. From there, trail no. 822 leads you along the northern shore on the asphalt road, past the Goingstätt snack station to the Pension Maier snack station. Shortly before Pension Maier, the path branches off to the left. Follow the signs towards Seestüberl (trail no. 822) to reach the forest path along the south bank. This section leads through the shady forest with ascents, descents and some steps along the way. Finally, you return to the starting point on the east bank.

This is also the bus stop for the hiking bus Hintersteiner See, which runs several times a day between Scheffau and the lake during the summer months.

Pushchairs & accessibility:
The asphalt road on the north bank from Seestüberl to Pension Maier is suitable for pushchairs. Please note: The forest path on the south bank has steps in places, so this section is not barrier-free.

Refreshment stops:
The Seestüberl restaurant is located on the eastern shore of Hintersteiner See, if you continue along the road towards the western shore you will pass the Goingstätt snack station. A few metres further on is the Pension Maier snack station.
