King’s Louis 2nd of Bavaria favorite resting place, where he went to admire the beautiful alpine landscapes that rise over two lakes "Kochelsee" and "Walchensee". The top of Herzogstand reveals half of Upper Bavaria. Large parts of the alpine hills can be seen with several lakes and peaks that are directly besides them. With good visibility, you can see as far as Munich and there for example the Olympic tower. Simply amazing, a hike you’ll fell in love with!
