Hinterstein is the last village of the valley of the river Ostrach. In former times it was the hunting area of the Bavarian kings. Today it is the starting point for hiking and mountain climbing (also for seniors or guests with children, light tours, well known climbing tours or just walking. The animals and flowers of the valley are always admired and photographed. A waterfall, natural bath,(200 m), playing ground, paths along the river Ostrach, carriage museum and the way to the Giebelhaus (the valley divides here and ends up in the mountains),(here you can see the golden eagle) are very special for friends of nature all year through. Wherever you go, you see the magnificence of scenery of the mountains and the meadows, where the cows graze in summer and the marmot whistles. Our valley is the most beautiful valley of Bavaria (so a television journalist said).Restaurants and bakery are near by. We are situated 865 m above sea level and our mountain air is good for allergic people.
