Moderately Difficult Hikes

Is it about the journey or the destination? Well, one of the destinations of this stage is definitely the Hintersteiner See lake and its views. Surrounded by stunning mountain vistas, dwarf pine scrubland and beech forests, the lake is one of the cleanest and most beautiful mountain lakes in Tirol. The private pristine gem covers 56 hectares and measures 36 metres at its deepest point. With this picture-perfect backdrop, hikers will complete the remaining distance to the Kaindlhütte hut in no time.
