Dungeons of Hinterberg – launching July 18, 2024 for Xbox Series X|S (and coming day one with Game Pass) – is a delightful dungeon crawler that blends combat, exploration, and social sim elements into a charming and colorful package. The game takes place within the bustling town of Hinterberg, which has recently found itself full of monsters and magic – and become a tourist destination as a result. It’s here you’ll guide your hero, Luisa, away from her dreary life of a dead-end job to explore the surrounding regions seeking adventure.
But, as a grand vacation, you need to know the sights, sounds, and tastes of where you’re visiting. What are some of the marquee locations that you should track down and discover during your time in Hinterberg? Are there any culinary delights you absolutely must try? What kind of monsters can one expect when traveling from the Doberkogel to the Kolmstein regions? For those answers (and more) we enlisted the help of Microbird Co-Founder and Art Director on Dungeons of Hinterberg, Regina Reisinger to help point us in the right direction.

Your Four Regions
Dungeons of Hinterberg is broken into four very distinct regions, called Overworlds, that each have their own pockets of adventure, weather, and monsters. We asked Reisinger to summarize each of these unique regions.
Doberkogel – “Doberkogel has this lush green meadow and it’s a very chill and sunny atmosphere. Oh, and you can pet the cow (if you want). You can also climb up to the very top of the mountain where it gets a bit rougher, but in general it’s a very relaxing hike up to the Upper Lush Green.”
Hinterwald – “Very deep, dark, and dense. Lots of covered space where you get to hike in various nooks and crannies. It’s a great place for you to get lost in.”
Kolmstein – “Kolmstein is a perpetually snowy mountain, but it’s also very bright with a beautiful blue sky — but always covered in snow. It’s here you get to use a magic hoverboard, so it’s very much like a giant ski slope feeling. Another mountain peak with great sights.”
Brunnelsumpf – “Brunnelsumpf is a perpetually rainy (and a bit foggy) marshland. There are lots of different islands for you to explore – you can rent a canoe to travel to each of them. It’s a bit more like the type of place you’d want to cool down a bit, thanks to its more cloudy and tempered weather.”
Unique, Can’t-Miss Features
If you were planning to take a visit to the town of Hinterberg for the first time, what would be some of the “Can’t Miss” features from each of the regions that you must see before your trip is over?
Doberkogel – “There’s a cool lake to hang out at, and of course traveling up to the summit. On the mountain, there’s a hut where you can sit outside on the balcony and take in the view while sipping a drink or eating a snack. And of course, there’s still the cows.”
Hinterwald – “I think for Hinterwald it’s nice to take a hike up to the windmill, and from there you can look around in the central hill. That’s a good place. And there’s also a nice romantic water mill that you can sit by a little streamlet and meditate along with some castle ruins hidden away that are worth a visit.”
Kolmstein – “There are two peaks connected by a huge, free-hanging bridge where you get a great view over all the surrounding areas. You can walk down this 30-meter bridge, which leads to a cave filled with icicles. That’s a very nice spot. Also, if you go to Kolmstein, there’s a lot of ski lifts and one of them will lead you to a Hut called Edelweiss Rust, which is named after a flower. It’s one of those huts where you can shop for a snack while skiing, and you can sit outside on a bench in the sun. So that’s also a good spot to visit.”
Brunnelsumpf – “There’s an island that has some old castle ruins nearby for you to explore, where you can also access some dungeons; that’s a good spot. And there’s a tent for refreshments, helping you stay out of the rain, rest a bit, and get some refreshments.”

The Must-See Monsters
Hinterberg and the surrounding biomes are filled with a wide variety of monsters and bosses that you’ll have to contend with on your adventures. Here’s a quick breakdown on what type of nasty fiends you can expect to encounter.
Doberkogel – “Kobold’s are everywhere but if you go to the mountains, all the dungeons are mine-themed. The boss is a big worm that can burrow through the earth and lives in a cave in the mountain.”
Hinterwald – “There’s an enemy that looks kind of like an old woman, and she’s called Buschweibchen, which is kind-of “bush woman” in German, so very literal. She will throw poison mushrooms at you, and she can heal. She’s kind of like a forest witch.”
Kolmstein – “There’s an enemy called a Drood. She’s a flying woman with talons. You encounter her a lot and she can conjure thunderstorm clouds and make lightning and bad weather.”
Brunnelsumpf – ”For Brunnelsumpf, it must be the Irrlicht, which is German translation of “Will-o’-the-wisp”. It’s said to be a spirit of people who vanished in a swamp and come back as this little light and kind of lead people astray.”
Must-Try Culinary Delights
If you’re returning for the evening to the village of Hinterberg after a day of adventuring, there are a lot of possibilities for culinary snacks.
“Go to the Main Square and there is a traditional café called Cafe Keindl – they have eismarillenknödel, which is a dumpling of ice cream filled with apricot. That’s very good. And of course, all the chocolate cakes and those kinds of things. And then there’s the local inn, also on Main Square, where you can go in and have a Schnitzel, the absolute classic Austrian dish.”

Meet the Locals (Klaus in Particular)
There are many locals you can befriend during your time in Hinterberg that can give you the lay of the land and help you get acquainted to the peculiarities of the region. There are a few folks you should seek out once you arrive in town, but one of the most important is Klaus.
“He used to be a famous mountaineer in his younger days and is now the guide for onboarding tourists – he will help you on day one and you can go see him at any time. If you visit him later, he will suggest some tips and tricks. And if you’re a good person that collects trash up on the mountain, you can also give it to him for some special rewards.”
Now it’s time to get ready to set out and tour these sights and delights on your own when Dungeons of Hinterberg launches July 18, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S and day one with Xbox Game Pass. Thanks again to Regina Reisinger for helping point us in the right direction.
