background
The place Hintersee had at the time of Prince Provost Berchtesgaden Importance as a station on the transport route for the salt trade from the Pinzgau in the Rupertiwinkel. The route came from the south over the Hirschbichler Passhöhe and through the Klausbachtal to the lake. The top of the pass was also the site of a skirmish between Bavaria and Austrians in 1809 during the freedom struggles for Tyrol.
Today Hintersee is part of the national park community of Ramsau.
Tourism for Ramsau and Hintersee began in 1810 when the region became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

Tourist Attractions
Hintersee
The Hintersee has a length of approx. 0.92 km and a width of 0.18 km and a surface of approx. 16.40 ha with a circumference of approx. 2.5 km. The maximum depth is 18.0 m with an average depth of 7.0 m, the lake level is 789.10 m above sea level.
The old name of the Hintersee is Ferchensee von Förche (= trout) because of its abundance of fish. The lake is still very popular with anglers today because of its trout and char stocks.
Originally, the lake in the south was fed by the Klausbach. Its carried debris made of stone and debris have already made the lake much smaller in the past millennia, so the stream is routed around the lake to protect it from further silting up. The lake itself is only fed by small inlets.
From the northern end of the lake after the union with the outflow of the lake, the Klausenbach is then called Ramsauer Ache and flows through the deeply cut Marxenklamm and the Magic forest to Ramsau.
The reflection of the somewhat more distant Hohen Göll in the water surface on sunny evenings is the ideal image of a romantic mountain lake and was and is a popular motif of the painter of Alpine romanticism, who is best known Carl Rottmann. Today's Gasthof Auzinger was a real artist hostel at the time of the art patron King Ludwig I.
The best time to visit is in spring and autumn, when the lake is not yet too crowded with tourists. The morning hours with fog over the lake are considered particularly idyllic.

Magic forest
The magic forest is located between Ramsau and Hintersee, atmospheric access to Hintersee is that Footpath (created as a nature trail) from Ramsau over footpaths, stairs and bridges through the mountain forest. The wild and romantic landscape of the mixed mountain forest with boulders, springs, the gorge and the caves was added to the list of "100 most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria"recorded.
The huge boulders along the way come from a rock fall from the Hochkalter that took place around 3500 years ago. The magic forest got its name around 1900 during the beginnings of tourism in the region.
Klausbachtal
The Klausbachtal is a geological break between the mountain ranges of Hochkalter and Reiteralpe. During the last ice age, this fracture was carved out into the trough valley by a glacier that flowed down from the Hirschbichl / Hochkalter and was up to 1 km thick. Today's Hintersee is the remainder of the former glacier lake at the northern end of the glacier, the former lake basin of which has now been almost completely filled with rubble.
The Klausbach got its name from a hermitage, a weir with which the brook was dammed, and with whose water cut tree trunks were washed into the valley.
The side valleys of the Klausbach valley are some of the quietest and most secluded parts of the National parks counted.
