Description

The Hintersteiner See - a natural jewel with drinking water quality!
Underground springs fill it with fresh mountain water, on the surface of which the impressive mountain peaks are reflected. However, it is really unique to bathe in its refreshing and crystal-clear water on a hot summer day or after a long hike in the Kaiser Mountains. In the summer months it warms up to an average temperature between 20 and 22 degrees.
