Sonnenspitz

It is something very special to climb a mountain at 4:30 in the morning when everyone is asleep. You are completely alone on the hiking trails and the autumn wind makes you believe that cars or animals are coming behind you. In addition, you can watch the sunrise over Kochel in the morning and if you get warm quickly, it is easier to hike in the low temperatures. In a nutshell, a great little adventure with potential.

Great view of the valley, which makes up for the quite steep ascent.

View of Kochelsee and Herzogstand

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hello hikers, up on the Jochberg is extra class. Entrance from the Kesselbergstrasse car park is located in a U, approx. 1 km before Lake Walchensee. Before you get there it's about 700 meters uphill for a good 2-2.5 km :-). Very varied with forest, gravel bed, rock and path sections. Exhausting anyway... it goes up.
But once you get to the top... a dream!!! Best view of Walchensee and Kochelsee ever... and to the south of the mountain ranges of the foothills of the Alps. Insane view with comparatively little effort. No cable car, no lift, no parking lot, no kiosk provides technology on this mountain. A mountain cross... of course it has to be. Have a snack upstairs and just linger for an hour. Take a few pictures and then go back downstairs. A nice trip for sporty families. Unforgettable. Greetings Armin
