Tucked away in the heart of the Bavarian Alps, you'll find Hintersee, a truly magical spot that feels like stepping into a painting. The water is so clear it perfectly mirrors the dramatic mountain peaks that surround it, creating a picture-perfect scene at every turn. An easy, flat path winds its way around the entire lake, making for a relaxing stroll that takes about an hour. From the car park, you're just moments away from these incredible views and the start of the trail that also leads into the enchanting "Zauberwald" or Magic Forest.
