Highlight • Lake

Beautiful mountain lake with restaurants and a small swimming pool with a kiosk. Can also be reached by car and is accordingly highly frequented, but definitely worth a detour.

September 18, 2024,Rundwanderung Königsstand - Pflegersee - Burgruine Werdenfels von Garmisch 🥾

The Königsstand is a beautiful tour destination in Garmisch-Partenkirchen - not a summit, but a beautiful plateau with the best views of the valley 🤩
The path up leads past the St. Martin mountain inn through the woods. Here the hiking trail winds its way up in many bends over hill and dale to the highest point of the hike …

King Max II had it built as a bridle path.
Narrow paths along the edge of the cliff, but not particularly dangerous, with a great view and perfect hiking weather.

October 30, 2023,🥾⛰️Pflegersee – Königstand Runde von Burgrain

Very nice tour to the Königsstand. The weather was still good today and gave us a great view of the Wetterstein Mountains with a view of the Zugspitze and the Karwendel Mountains. However, the climb on the T3 path should be enjoyed with caution. Narrow as a towel along the steep slope, it looks more like a game crossing and …

March 9, 2024,Kramerspitz über Königstand: wieder mal nicht angekommen 🥹

Unfortunately we had to interrupt the tour at the Kramersteig. It snowed recently and the path went over an icy slab that was a good candidate for an avalanche and we didn't dare cross it. It's a shame, the other side was definitely doable. 😬

Very nice tour.

It is recommended to add another 2 hours (there and back) and climb to the Kramerspitz if you are fit enough.
