Herzogstand — Local services in Kochel am See (VGem)

Go! It is gorgeous! The views and town below are picturesque. You get to the mountain but the cable car in town. Search "cable car". Also by searching the mountain. It will direct you to the town that has the cable car. The cable cargo is about every 30 minutes. The hike up to the top of the mountain took us about 40 minutes total.

They have a restaurant with lake view, super super nice. I didn't eat there so I can't tell if the food is good. The path under the cable car is the best so far for me but it is really steep with natural paths. You can hike up in winter and super nice in summer. I continued after the Herzogstand to Heimgarten, it took me about 1.5 to 2 hours. The path in between the mountains is not easy but they prepared well for hikers but you...
