Small Waterfall on the Herzogstand Trail

Highlight • Waterfall

The route is scenically very varied and due to its orientation to the south, it is still well walkable into the late autumn.

Fantastically beautiful insights and insights ...! A beautiful round tour, which is only recommended outside of the season, as very busy.

Heimgarten Summit

I recommend to go to the mountain during the week, there is less going on.
The Heimgarten is not as frequented as the Herzogstand (mountain railway!), But because the ridge …

October 2, 2021,Heimgarten und über den Gratweg zum Herzogstand

Very nice tour! I had imagined the ridge to be even crisper. The Herzogstand was pretty crowded. There was also a lot going on on the descent.

Without mountaineering experience I would not recommend the tour. You need a good condition. But a wonderful tour 🤩

It was exciting if we can walk the grade between the two mountains?
1 hour before we reached the house at Heimgarten it started to rain. After the warm soup, no more drops fell from the sky, the transition was won, unfortunately the view was very limited.
A few holes in the clouds only appeared at the Herzogstand.
Still on …

Completely snow-free tour Herzogstand, Heimgarten.
Since the railway has closed for revision work, fewer people were on the way.

Exploited the beautiful weather and reduced the overtime account. In summary, one can say that we climbed up in winter and descended in spring. The ridge between Heimgarten and Herzogsstand was easy to walk on. However, you had to be sure-footed and toddle, as the path is much more demanding than in summer. Definitely worth it. There was also little …

Unfortunately, the time is wrong again. I was on the road for almost 10 hours and there were about 2 hours of breaks.
The paths are very well maintained!
It gets very crowded around the cable car from 9 a.m. The Martinskopf is an exception.
@Petra 🌞💐🥳🥾🚴 I decided to take the strenuous but beautiful route.

Cool 😎 hike as a stopover ✋ on the way to the Dolomites 🏔️⛰️. Set a mark for the altitude (and almost in the foothills of the Alps 😉). The "sweating level" 🥵 was extremely high despite the lack of summer heat ☀️ (thank God 👍). The ridge path is absolutely gorgeous 🥰 with fabulous valley views of the Kochel …

March 1, 2025,Heimgarten & Herzogstand...und ein verrückter Auerhahn😆

This tour is best done when the weather isn't ideal😉. Because then Munich would rather stay at home😂...apart from a few outsiders😁.
It's very easy to walk from the Herzogstandbahn car park, the first snow actually only came on the crossing below the Rotwandkopf. With a bit of surefootedness it was fine here without crampons. The first really big challenge …
