Hinterstoder

Hinterstoder is a municipality in Kirchdorf District situated at 591 meters elevation and surrounded by mountain peaks including Grosser Priel, Kleiner Priel, Spitzmauer, and Warscheneck. The settlement spreads across four distinct villages: Hinterberg, Hinterstoder, Mitterstoder, and Hintertambergau.

The settlement first appeared in documents from 1240 as Stoder, a name of Slavic origin meaning cold or stony ground. A railway connection built in 1906 linked this municipality to neighboring regions and supported its development.

The name comes from Slavic roots and reflects the early inhabitants who settled in this mountain region. Visitors today can explore the village layout that still mirrors these ancient settlement patterns.

The municipality is easily reached by railway thanks to the connection established since 1906. For visitors wanting to explore the different villages, it helps to plan time for moving between the four settlements.

A World Cup ski slope about 2,250 meters long was built in 2004 using natural terrain features with steep gradients reaching 60 percent. This run attracts competitive skiers and makes the area a notable winter sports destination.
