Hintersee Ramsau is one of those idyllic spots in the Bavarian Alps that you simply must see. The lake is famous for its enchanting forest . It's located near Berchtesgaden National Park, and the border with Salzburg is just a few kilometers away. This turquoise mountain lake isn't huge, but with a circumference of about 2.5 kilometers, it's large enough to be circumnavigated on an easy hike. It's one of the most visited attractions in Berchtesgaden and, along with Maria Gern, one of the most popular photo subjects in the Berchtesgaden region ! What people particularly love about Hintersee is the crystal-clear water, which shimmers such a beautiful turquoise at the edges. A unique feature of this lake near Berchtesgaden is the boulders scattered throughout the water. Various sizes of rocks lie along the shoreline, and most can be reached from the shore with a single step, keeping your feet dry.
