Herzogstand via Cable Car (Walchensee)
Ride the Herzogstandbahn from Walchensee up to ~1600m, then walk the panoramic ridge to the Pavillon and gipfelkreuz. The classic Munich alpine day with most of the climbing skipped. (For the on-foot version of the same massif ending at Ohlstadt, see the Heimgarten Überschreitung.)
Category: Alpine Day Trip
Distance: ~3–5 km on foot, depending on how far along the ridge
Difficulty: Moderate (the climb itself is easy; altitude and exposure are real)
Bail-out: Cable car runs both ways — you can turn back any time. Last cable car down is fixed; check the time before walking out the ridge. Heart-rate trouble: stay near Berggasthaus, descend by cable car.
