Hintersteiner See

Smaller than the Walchsee, but of rare beauty, is the Hintersteiner See south of the Wilder Kaiser. To the southeast of Kufstein a road winds along the valley of the Weissache at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser to St Johann in Tirol (see Kitzbühel, Surroundings). From this road a footpath leads via the Steinerne Stiege (one hour) to the picturesque Hintersteiner See (alt. 892m/2,927ft), which can also be reached along a 4km/2.5mi road from Scheffau am Wilden Kaiser. The rock walls of the Scheffauer (2,113m/6,933ft) can be seen mirrored in the clear waters of the lake.
