geography
Emergence
The Hintersee at the foot of the Reiteralpe and the Hochkalter was formed around 3,500 to 4,000 years ago when a rock fall from the Blaueistal from the Hochkaltermassiv, which covers an area of 75 hectares , dammed the Klausbach , which rises at the Hirschbichl , and at the same time created the magic forest . In order to prevent further silting up by the sediment carried along, around 1900 the Klausbach was led around the Hintersee up to its overflow, the Sillersbach, before finally flowing into the Ramsauer Ache . Nevertheless, the lake today only has a third of its original area.
Location and landscape
The lake is entirely within the district forest district Hintersee , which until its incorporation to Ramsau near Berchtesgaden one on 1 January 1984. unincorporated community was. With its west bank, however, it borders on the district of Ramsau, specifically on the Hintersee district, which originally belonged to the Antenbichl community .
Today the lake is only fed by small inlets from the west and northwest. One of these is the Antonigraben , which rises below the Edelweißlahnerkopf and flows into the lake a few meters from the listed Antonikapelle (with hipped roof , 17th century).
The lake has a maximum water depth of 18 meters and in the summer months a water temperature of a maximum of 15 to 16 degrees Celsius .
The Hintersee is known for its reflection of the Hohen Göll ("Göllspiegelung").

Among them then u. a. Carl Rottmann also made the lake itself a motif. Many of them were served by the Auzinger inn and its predecessor, Hint. See Wirth as a meeting point and hostel. The so-called Ramsauer Malerweg leads from the Ramsau village center through the magic forest to the Hintersee along the preferred locations of the painters.
