Beautifully situated at the foot of the Herzogstand and Jochberg. From the north shore you have spectacular views over the lake to the peaks of the Karwendel. The lake is also known for its unique water color.

View of Urfeld on Lake Walchensee

Hiking at Walchensee is varied and great! The Walchensee circular trail is long and flat - it goes all the way around the lake.

A really nice, albeit strenuous, round
Great view. 🥾🏔️

June 17, 2024,Rundtour von Urfeld auf den Jochberg

Yesterday, after descending from the Karwendelhaus, we drove to Urfeld on Lake Walchen to end the hut tour for a few days.

Today we climbed from Urfeld (800 m) to the Jochberg (1565 m). A tour that I did 5 years ago. The climb was just as strenuous as I expected. There were more stairs than I remembered. My legs …

Pretty tough tour (600 meters in altitude over 3 km, especially downhill exhausting). Unfortunately only rain and fog, therefore so few (cell phone) photos. The Walchensee is still very beautiful and idyllic even in the rain and fog.

February 2, 2025,Kesselberg Jochberg Sachenbach Walchensee

One of Munich's local mountains, if not the one it is. In winter ❄️beautiful, especially the loop over Sachenbach. In summer - hmm 😒not really recommended, because it's always a nightmare there.

September 2, 2021,❤️Walchensee❤️

I greet you dear like-minded people 🙋
Today I ended up at the Walchensee. Hallelujah, it was a gigantic hike. The ascent was crisp 🥵 Arrived completely out of breath, I needed a 🍺 first
Mhhhh at 1400 meters, it tastes extra fine.
Oh yes, by the way, the Kochelsee can be seen in the first pictures.

It's actually no more than a half-day tour. If you start early, you walk for a long time on the northwest slope in the shade of the cool forest. Perhaps you should do the tour in the opposite direction to maximize the hours of sunshine, although the southern ascent is also in the forest and not particularly varied. Either way, …

June 2, 2023,Jochbergrunde mit Eisbär & Co. 🐻‍❄️🐶🐶👨💃

I think the Jochberg ⛰️(1565m) is always a bit underestimated. It's somehow in the shadow of its well-known neighbor the Herzogstand ⛰️(1731m). But the ascent 🥾 is no less steep 🥵 and the view 👀 is just as terrific!
And on days like this when nothing was going on, it was simply the better choice 😁
We even got a …
