Hinterstoder is a village in Upper Austria and lies in the Stoder Valley. The village is surrounded by the horseshoe-shaped mountains of the Tote Gebirge, whose highest peak, the Gro&szlig Priel (2514m), is a popular hiking mountain. 
The alpine world around Hinterstoder is characterised by a unique flora and fauna: Here you can observe wild animals in their natural habitat while hiking up to the alp as well as an incredible variety of colourful alpine flowers right next to the hiking trail: such as gentian, alpine bush or lady's slipper, a rare orchid species.

The Hutterer Höss is a wonderful hiking area: on the forest roads, even the uninitiated can enjoy carefree hiking from the valley to the mountains, orientation is easy thanks to the wide roads and signs.
