Point-to-point
Rising above the brilliant turquoise waters of Lake Walchensee, this classic mountain route leads up into the Bavarian Prealps toward three celebrated peaks: Fahrenberg, Martinskopf, and Herzogstand. The path winds up through peaceful pine and spruce forests, where gentle gravel tracks give way to open ridge traverses with sweeping mountain scenery. Near the summit, hikers can discover the historical connection to King Ludwig II, who built his favorite hunting lodge along these high slopes. Sturdy hiking boots with reliable traction are recommended for navigating the gravel switches and narrow rocky paths along the upper ridges.
