Small Waterfall on the Herzogstand Trail

Highlight • Waterfall

The route is scenically very varied and due to its orientation to the south, it is still well walkable into the late autumn.

A great 360 degree view "rewards" the ascent. In good weather you can look as far as Munich 👀

Herzogstand

Highlight • Summit

Worlds meet here. Mountaineers and tourists in flip-flops from the nearby Herzogstandbahn. Super view in top weather of several lakes. A small hut offers some sun protection and there are a few information boards about the surrounding mountains.

Herzogstand summit and views of Walchensee and Kochelsee

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.

December 31, 2021,Der Klassiker zum Schluss 🥳🥂🎊

The last day of the year I started again with a mountain tour ... Classic: Herzogstand!
TShirt weather 👚, bright sunshine 🌞, few people going up 😀
But of course also represented: the sneaker Schlapperl and Instagram-would-like starlets 🤳👸 with the obligatory Gucci shoulder bag 👜🕶…. 🙊🙈
The rest of the masses that were transported up with the gondola 🚡 …

Today, I gained some altitude quickly in great weather and went up to the Herzogstand. Started from the valley station of the Herzogbahn. The entire path was moderately steep and always technically undemanding (T2) to walk. Good training unit for stamina. Top view from the summit and the terrace of the mountain inn. Truly fantastic.

On a sunny day we went up to the Herzogstand. Unfortunately, the announced clouds came in sooner than expected, so we didn't have the view we had hoped for. Still a nice tour.
