View of Lake Walchensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fascinating, as the lake reflects and seems almost infinite, because the distant shore between the trees is barely visible.

The signposted "Reitweg zum Herzogstand" leads on a wide, well-developed forest road to the mountain inn. At this point, the trees are already clearing and from the lush mountain meadows you have a fantastic view of the Kochelsee and the Jochberg.

January 27, 2022,Von der Kesselbergstr. zum Herzogenstand

It went again to the southernmost tip of the republic. In snow and icy conditions, we ended up in the lake landscape between Kesselsee and Walchensee. A great panorama awaited us right from the start, but it should get even better. At the top of the Herzogenstand we had an amazing 360° view of the valley and the surrounding peaks. …

Very nice pleasure tour with fantastic views of Kochelsee and Walchensee and the Zugspitze area. A bit crowded, as there is also a cable car leading to the mountain saddle. And so, even in winter conditions in high alpine terrain, you can see people with sneakers and handbags.

November 21, 2022,Herzogstand am Walchensee ❄️🌦️🏔️

The Herzogstand (1731m) is one of Munich's most famous local mountains and offers a magnificent view of the summit. So you look south to the Walchensee and the Karwendel behind it and to the north over the Kochelsee in the lowlands. The tour takes place consistently on good paths (to Herzogstandhaus Forststraße) and can also be walked without danger in …

September 4, 2022,Zum Herzogstand😎⛰️, vom Walchsee 👏

Knowing that the tour will be hiked a lot. 😐, therefore only up to the Herzogstandhaus. I gave myself the summit, with the influx 🙈. Easy to do, the way back was the same because the alternative was too slippery for me.

Not completely exciting, but a good tour to do even in snow. Crampons were very helpful today and of course the nice weather meant there was a nice view 😎🤣🤩
