Walchensee & Herzogstand – Wo man beim Schwitzen überlegt, ob man sich nicht doch in den See wirft

Wer braucht ein Fitnessstudio, wenn man den Herzogstand hat? Ich dachte mir: "Ach, bisschen wandern, schöne Aussicht, Gipfelbrotzeit – wird schon chillig." Spoiler: Es wurde spektakulär. Und schweißtreibend. Aber fangen wir vorne an:

Start am Walchensee: Der See begrüßte uns mit Postkartenoptik deluxe. Ich hab noch nie so blaues Wasser gesehen – dachte erst, jemand hätte eine Instagram-Filtermaschine ins Wasser geworfen.

Der Aufstieg: Man hat zwei Optionen: mit der Seilbahn hochgondeln wie ein Tourist auf Kaffeefahrt oder zu Fuß hoch wie ein echter Bergabenteurer mit fragwürdiger Kondition. Natürlich haben wir uns für Letzteres entschieden – ich wollte schließlich meiner Smartwatch zeigen, wer der Boss ist.

Erstes Drittel: Motiviert wie Reinhold Messner auf Espresso. Zweites Drittel: Leichtes Keuchen, aber noch voller Hoffnung. Drittes Drittel: "Warum tu ich mir das an?" – gepaart mit der Sehnsucht nach einer Hütte oder einem Defibrillator.

Am Gipfel: Alle Strapazen vergessen. Panoramaaussicht wie in einem Werbespot für Atemfreiheit. Man sieht den Walchensee, den Kochelsee, und mit etwas Glück auch sein eigenes spirituelles Erwachen. Wind im Haar, Brotzeit in der Hand, Sonnenstrahlen im Gesicht – ich war kurz davor, meinen Alltag zu kündigen und Almhirte zu werden.

Der Abstieg: Pro-Tipp: Wanderschuhe, nicht Sneaker. Und gutes Knieöl. Aber runter geht’s schneller – auch emotional, wenn man merkt, dass unten kein Fahrstuhl wartet.

Belohnung: Zurück am Walchensee direkt ins Wasser gestürzt (also fast – der Temperaturschock hat meine Seele kurz verlassen, aber sie kam zurück). Danach: Apfelstrudel und Radler im Biergarten – göttlich.

Fazit: Walchensee plus Herzogstand ist wie ein episches 2-in-1-Paket: Naturkino und sportliche Selbsterfahrung. Ich bin mit Muskelkater und breitem Grinsen nach Hause gefahren. 10/10 – würde...
