Hintersee to Ramsau by iandsmith
If you're looking for something to do, i.e., as in exercise, as in walking, you could do worse than catch a bus out to Hintersee and start walking back to Berchtesgaden, as we did.What this does is give you a bit of everything. There are places where you're following the stream, parts where you're in the forest and other sections where you'll find yourself cruising through a village.All the time there is the sound of rushing water and a backdrop of snowcapped mountains. If you get lucky you'll get a still day and a mesmerising mirror shot of the peaks reflected in Hintersee. Me, I'm still waiting for the right day.
That won't stop you having a thoroughly enjoyable experience however. With the gravel crunching beneath your feet you'll round Hintersee and hit the trail/road/trail on your way back. Initially you'll find yourself in a national park following a path beside the stream but they've had to change the route somewhat since the violent storm in 2007 uprooted many of the waterside trees.
You'll then walk past a hotel before the track cuts across to the other side and then slowly loops back around to the stream again.
