The Magic Forest at Hintersee is definitely one of the most beautiful destinations in the Berchtesgadener Land. A little corner of the world to capture the imagination of young and old! It’s well worth allowing plenty of time for the hour-long walk, as there are plenty of play areas for children in the wild forest and exciting information boards along the nature trail.

The Hintersee, a magical gem, will enchant you with its crystal clear waters in the most dazzling shades of blue and green. Whether you take a pedal boat trip or simply enjoy the view from the shore, the aura of this lake is enchanting. Right next door is the enchanted forest with its babbling brooks and moss-covered trees. Time seems to stand still here, especially in late summer when the sun dances through the foliage, bathing the forest in a vibrant sea of colour.

Tour description Magic Forest and Hintersee

The walk starts at the kiosk in the Magic Forest, where the idyllic nature trail begins. The 3-kilometre circular walk can be taken either straight ahead or to the right – we recommend the right for a more comfortable start.

The magical scenery unfolds after just a few steps: mighty rocks, moss-covered tree trunks and the mysterious path make the forest appear in an enchanting light. In fact, you are just waiting for a dwarf to emerge from behind the next tree. Children will love the wild nature, dashing along narrow paths, collecting natural materials and letting their creativity run wild.

After about 50 minutes – perhaps a little longer if you have children – the view of Hintersee slowly opens up. Take a seat on one of the benches along the shore and take in the breathtaking scenery. If you like, you can hire one of the beautiful pedal boats and see the lake from the water. There are several places to stop for refreshments along the way, but our insider tip is to drive a little further to Gasthof Auzinger (there is a car park opposite) for the best cheesecake in the region. A short walk in the National Park rounds off the day perfectly.

By the way: The Enchanted Forest was created by an ancient landslide and still impresses with its moss-covered boulders and mystical atmosphere.
