Hinterstoder is a municipality in the district of Kirchdorf an der Krems in Upper Austria, Austria. The village is near the border of the province of Styria, 600 meters above sea level. Hinterstoder is surrounded by several mountains: Grosser Priel (2514 m), Kleiner Priel (2134 m), Mauer Spitz (2446 m) and Warscheneck (2389 m). Municipality Hinterstoder consists of the following villages: Hinterberg, Hinterstoder, Mitterstoder and Hintertambergau. Hinterstoder has been a part of Austria since the 12th century, when it was conquered by the Duchy of Bavaria. The village was first mentioned in a document in 1240 as "Residues". Residues are the words from Slavic and means "cold" or "stony ground". The first settlers in Hinterstoder were Slavs. The Traun River which runs through the towns of Wels and Linz, where the border between the German-speaking and eye-speaking settlers in these times. In 1890 the first overnight stays. Tour began in Hinterstoder. In 1897, the first police station opened. Hinterstoder received its railway connection in 1906 and 1910 sport skiing became popular. The first ski race took place on December 10, 1912. Today the village is world famous for its World Cup ski races. The first ski race of the World Cup was hosted in 1986. This was another important stimulus for winter tourism in Hinterstoder. As the competition between the candidates for the World Championships is very large and the World Cup course at Bärenalm did not meet the requirements of the FIS longer, president of the Ski Club Hinterstoder Rudolf Rohregger urged to quickly build a new, more attractive and selective World Cup slope in Hinterstoder. This ambitious goal has been achieved with the new World Cup Run on Hoess. Construction of the racetrack began in late summer 2004; in the winter of 2004/05, the track was partially available and already caused a stir. The first World Cup race on the new hill was in the 2006-07 season. The new "Hannes Trinkl valley descent" honors its namesake, one of the world's best downhill skiers in recent years. With a length of 2.250 meters, runs slope more or less directly into the valley with an average gradient of 35 percent. Natural terrain edges and steep slopes with a gradient of 55 to 60 percent do this run particularly spectacular. The slope meets all the necessary criteria to keep the FIS World Cup Super G, giant slalom and slalom races for men and women. Special attention was paid to the design of targets stadium where spectators can see much of the hill and reach the target area easily from the nearby parking. Since its completion Hinterstoder hosted a meeting in the 2011 World Cup with complete success. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
