Herzogstand

By car to Walchensee, large parking lot at the valley station. With the Herzogstandbahn you reach the mountain station at Fahrenberg in 4 minutes. In a few minutes you can reach the year-round operated Herzogstand mountain inn on a level, wide path and enjoy the splendid panoramic view while having a snack. From the Herzogstandhaus you have the option to continue hiking to the Herzogstand summit (approx. 45 minutes walk). Also from the mountain station the Martinskopf can be climbed in 35 minutes. For this, follow the mountain path to the Herzogstand summit for a few minutes. At the Martinskopf signpost, turn left and hike on a serpentine path through mountain pine and alpine rose bushes to the summit cross. Return to the mountain inn via the same path as ascent.  On the way back to the cable car it is worthwhile to visit the small chapel on Fahrenberg (panoramic view) and then descend briefly and directly to the cable car. Alternatively, you can also ascend to the Herzogstandhaus on a well-accessible mountain path without taking the cable car.
