Ascent
The Walchensee seems to be one of the colder places of the Bavarian Prealps. Long before leaving the forest behind, the trail was snow-covered.
On top
From Herzogstand's peak you have an amazing view over Lake Walchen, the flat Bavarian Alpine Foreland in the north and the impressive Wetterstein and Karwendel mountain range in the south.
Descent
Jumping our way down through slushy snow took just half the time of climbing it up!
