Located in the mountain world of the Osterhorngruppe and by the idyllic lake, visitors find pure peace and relaxation here. Thus, Hintersee rightfully enjoys its reputation as one of the most versatile lakes in the Salzkammergut. The 5-kilometer long loop trail, suitable for strollers and family-friendly, impresses with its undeveloped, freely accessible shore areas. The crystal-clear bathing lake offers swimming spots and beach resorts with all the extras such as beach volleyball courts, sunbathing lawns, children's playgrounds, petting zoos, rowboats, and more. The alpine area of Hintersee/Faistenau, with its 150 km of hiking trails, is also a paradise for mountain enthusiasts. And what could be more beautiful than cooling off in the crystal-clear lake after a hike! But even in winter, Hintersee offers a dreamlike opportunity for winter hiking and to enjoy the deeply snow-covered landscape along the lake. ### Help protect Hintersee Your equipment was previously used in another lake? Then help preserve the unique water quality of Hintersee. Quagga mussels and crayfish plague can be inadvertently transferred with water sports, fishing, or diving equipment from one body of water to another. **This is how you can protect Hintersee:** 1. Empty water completely 2. Thoroughly clean equipment 3. Let dry completely for at least 4 days – before switching lakes No time to dry? It's best to use a rental service directly at the lake. **Thank you for helping to protect our Hintersee!** [ Contact ](#ttgCollapseKontakt) ---------------------------------- **Lake Hintersee** Hinterseestraße 5324 Faistenau Phone [ +43 6226 8384 - 41 ](tel:+436226838441) E-Mail [faistenau@fuschlseeregion.com](#mailto) Web [www.faistenau.at](http://www.faistenau.at "New window") http://www.faistenau.at --- **Contact person** Hintersee Hinterseestraße 5324 Faistenau Phone [ +43 6226 8384 - 41 ](tel:+436226838441) E-Mail [faistenau@fuschlseeregion.com](#mailto) Web [www.faistenau.at](http://www.faistenau.at "New window") --- **We speak the following languages** German English [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ The hintersee is daily open [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Elevation**688 m [ Sports ](#ttgCollapseSportarten) ------------------------------------ - Fishing - Swimming / bathing - Nordic walking - Running [ Equipment ](#ttgCollapseAusstattung) ---------------------------------------- - Toilet facility - Playground (outdoors) - Cabin **Food and drink available**\- Hirschpoint kiosk with sunbathing lawn \- Lago Bar with lakeside terrace [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - Suitable for groups - Suitable for schools - Suitable for kids (all ages) - Suitable for pushchairs - Suitable for teenagers - Suitable for seniors - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples - Suitable for children **Season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn - Winter [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
