July 27, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "Salzburg" - See-Nr. 9: Hintersee

I've circumnavigated the ninth-largest lake in the Austrian province of Salzburg.
However, it was only just over 5 km. 😅
Unfortunately, it rained the whole time 🌧️ and the paths were wet.
Numerous small waterfalls and streams were found everywhere.

June 12, 2024,🇦🇹Der Hintersee in Faistenau

The Hintersee in Faistenau is a 5 km walk on good paths. A perfect tour considering a 13 year old, sprightly senior retriever. The sun is slowly breaking through the clouds and the weather is supposed to improve significantly from tomorrow. But as long as it's dry, we don't want to complain.

June 13, 2026,Rund um den Hintersee bei Salzburg - 13.06.2026

After the heavy rain ☔️ around Salzburg, we ran a beautiful loop around the Hintersee.
Despite the large amount of water in the lake, the shore path was clear and definitely much less crowded than the other lakes in the Salzkammergut.👍
