From the Ramsauer Hintersee through the mystical Zauberwald
An exciting family hike at the Ramsauer Hintersee and through the Zauberwald along the Hinterseeache. Not suitable for strollers.
The hike through the Zauberwald at Ramsauer Hintersee is an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. The path leads through a dense forest where moss-covered rocks and ancient trees create a fairytale atmosphere. Sun rays break through the canopy and bathe the forest in a mystical light. The gentle rustling of the Ramsauer stream accompanies you on your way, while small waterfalls and crystal-clear pools invite you to linger. Time and again, there are views of the emerald-green Königssee, framed by the imposing peaks of the Berchtesgaden Alps.

Directions
We start at the Zauberwald bus stop in Ramsau near Berchtesgaden. From here, we follow the path along the mystical Ramsauer Hintersee, where we can let our gaze wander over Hochkalter, Hocheisspitze, and Stadelhorn. Then it continues along the Ramsauer Ache naturally through the Zauberwald. On the nature trail, it goes over sticks, stones, and wooden bridges to the Marxenbrücke bus stop.
