This tour can confidently be described as a “classic”. The view of Kochelsee and Walchensee is legendary. You should also plan a stop at the Heimgarten hut!
Good to know
Directions
A very worthwhile mountain hike is the ridge hike from the Heimgarten to the Herzogstand and to the Herzogstandhäuser (managed). This ridge hike is not dangerous, but only experienced mountain hikers should undertake this tour. If you don't want to go back to Heimgarten, you can take a gondola from Herzogstand to Walchensee and from there take the bus via Kochel to Ohlstadt.
safety instructions
In an emergency, please contact the nearest rescue control center. Regardless of your location, you can reach them anywhere in Germany by calling 112.
The hiking and cycling paths we describe are primarily used for forest management; you use them at your own risk (Section 14 Para. 1 BForestG).
