Herzogstand summit cross

Highlight • Summit

Super nice view of the lakes and the Alps. Unfortunately very crowded on Sundays and public holidays. Few hikers, many day trippers...

Herzogstand summit and views of Walchensee and Kochelsee

Highlight • Summit

The Herzogstand offers fantastic views of some lakes in the north and the Walchensee and the Alps with all the mountains in the south. Fantastic in winter as in summer.

Herzogstand Hiking Trail with Panoramic Views

Highlight • Trail

So to avoid overcrowding, a day's holiday outside of the school holidays helps, this round with great views would deserve it, and so would you.🤗

Dreamlike view

Highlight • Viewpoint

Do not wander this way on the weekend, too full and arrived at the top you do not even get to drink anything because too many people have ridden up by the gondola

Family reunion at Walchensee. We took the cable car up and from there to the Herzogstand. A short hike with magnificent views. Even Munich could be seen on the horizon.

It's been a while, but it's definitely a must-do!

We first took a boat across Lake Kochel (the last trip of the year). Then it was back to Plan B: the train, because we had originally wanted to hike around the lake. But that would have been too tight before sunset.

From the Herzogstand (1731m) you have a magnificent view. So you can look south towards the Walchensee and the Karwendel behind it and to the north over the Kochelsee into the lowlands. At the summit, a small pavilion invites you to take a break.
The climb is on the southern slope without any shade.
