Reflections of the Reiteralm mountain in the Hintersee

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black

The Hintersee is an alpine lake to the west of Berchtesgaden, surrounded by the Magic Forest- Zauberwald. It's a favorite hiking area. The 16-hectare Hintersee is located near Ramsau on the border of the Berchtesgaden National Park, with high mountains to the west and south. Numerous boulders are strewn over the flat shore area, part of which is wooded; on the south side are meadows. The area of Hintersee Lake and Ramsau are among the most picturesque in the Bavarian Alps. Artists and novelists discovered both sites in the 1800s and, later, film-makers chose this area as an idyllic setting for alpine majesty and pastoral romance. Today the magnificent scenery of which the lake is a part attracts thousands of holidaymakers every year. The area is particularly popular among walkers with its excellent network of hiking trails. Pleasant walks through the magic forest or along the banks of Lake Hintersee can be enjoyed year-round.

Photo of the Hintersee near Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden - Germany. The main attraction of this lake is its position below the steep walls of the Reiteralm and Hochkalter, which are reflected in the water's surface on clear days. It is not surprising that, from 1850 on, this beauty spot became a magnet for painters. By the Hintersee they found what they had been looking for: a natural idyll far from the town.

In het zuidoosten van Beieren liggen de Alpen van het Berchtesgadener Land. Dit is het gebied voor het betere bergwandelen, klimmen en natuurlijk skiën. Het gebied dat vlak voor de hoge bergen wordt Voralpen genoemd en heeft mooie meren en groene alpenweitjes. Aan de rand van het Nationalpark in de Berchtesgadener Alpen treft men twee meren aan: Hintersee hierboven en Königssee, uit de Hintersee stroomt rivier Ramsau ook wel Ramsauer Strecke genoemd. De Hintersee bij het nationaal park in Ramsau is meer dan een bezoek waard. Ramsau met de wereldberoemde kerk en de romantische Hintersee met toverbos - Zauberwald. En natuurlijk heel veel wandelroutes die je trakteren op de mooiste uitzichten. De bevolking van het Berchtesgadener Land is trots op hun tradities en cultuur. Op 1 mei bijvoorbeeld dansen en drinken ze op de alpenwei rond de meiboom. In klederdracht en op Beierse volksmuziek. In de zomer gaan de koeien naar de alpenwei. Nog steeds verblijven boerenfamilies de hele Almsommer op de berg om de koeien te melken en boter en kaas te maken. Wie langs zo’n zomerboerderij wandelt of fietst, kan vaak wel een hapje mee-eten van het spekbrood met kaas. De Vooralpen zijn uitstekend geschikt om te fietsen. Op de Hintersee kan men 's winters vaak schaatsen.
