      The Hintersteiner See is a mountain lake in the Wilder Kaiser nature reserve and belongs to the municipality of Scheffau in the Austrian state of Tyrol.
      The lake was formed during the last ice age and is located at an altitude of 882 m above sea level. A. Underground springs fill the lake with crystal clear water. The Hintersteiner See is privately owned by Tiroler Wasserkraft AG and is used to generate electricity. The drainage takes place in the Weißache.
      A public lido is available by the lake. An approximately one-hour tour around the lake leads past some snack stations.

        The lake is very good to walk around. With the bike only on one side. Catering is sufficiently available. Who is not so good on foot, drives with the small bus of every few minutes commutes.

            The Hintersteinersee is a magical mountain lake, 56 hectares in size and up to 36 meters deep and lies at 883 m above sea level high above Scheffau in the middle of the Wilder Kaiser nature reserve. A hike around the Hintersteiner See gives you a deep view.

            On the south bank the path climbs a little and offers wonderful views of the turquoise blue water of the crystal clear mountain lake. The north shore of the lake is accessible to everyone thanks to a driveway.

            There is also a bathing beach here, the attraction of which lies in its naturalness. To be the most beautiful and cleanest natural bathing lake in Tyrol is enough of an award for the Hintersteiner See in Scheffau.

                  Demanding tour with the normal MTB. We have pushed up some of the way, but it goes back mostly only downhill. On the return tour to the right around the lake, some passages are very steep u. narrow, so you have to dismount here several times. Actually, the way is closed for bicycles, but you have some great education. Insights on u. in the crystal clear sea u. the fish in it.

                                        Blue lake, totally clear. You can see the fish swimming. In addition the mountain panorama. Beautiful.

                                                In this hut you can eat and drink deliciously. When you sit in the beer garden you can enjoy the unique panorama of the Hintersteiner See and the mountains.
