This family's experience:

Activities: We did a small walk around the Hintersteiner See. It was a perfect start to our hiking week in Tirol. A part of the path goes along a road. We needed to be careful because of that

Highlights: The views of the clear Hintersteiner See were beautiful. It was a relaxed start to the week. There were hardly any other hikers on the late Sunday afternoon ✨
