The Legend of Walchensee Lake and the Luxury of the Alpine Spa

The saturation of the green Walchensee lake is simply amazing every time. Not without reason, all major German artists have attempted to capture it on canvas.
According to local legend, a huge catfish lies at the bottom of the lake. As big as the lake itself, it holds its tail in its mouth. When the era of human immorality and godlessness arrives, the catfish will release its tail and the waters of the lake will rush into the valley.
On the shores of Walchensee lake, breathtaking views await at every turn. Take the opportunity to pause your journey and explore the various vantage points along the coast.
If you are here on 1st May, you must stop for a while by the village of Jachenau situated just a few minutes from the lake. Every year, many men in national dress erect a decorated tree by hand, and the ladies bring them beer during the process of installing the tree. A very vibrant tradition. It's really worth experiencing.

Park your car in the designated paid parking area, conveniently located for easy access to the cable car. The Herzogstand Cable Car transports you directly to the mountain top in less than 10 minutes.
You also have the option to ascend and descend on foot. The hike is relatively easy: the ascent will take about 2 hours, and the descent about 1 hour.

Just at the beginning of the ascent on the cable car, unique views of the panorama of the two-lake region open up in front of you. From the top of Herzogstand, the beloved mountain of King Ludwig II, you can see Bavaria stretching all the way to Munich and Lake Walchensee itself, which reflects the sun's rays in its waters like a polished emerald.
To the north, you have a splendid panoramic view of the Bavarian foothills of the Alps across Lake Kochel and Walchensee, as well as the peaks of Zugspitze and Karwendel and the distant Tyrolean mountains.
After enjoying a walk, make your way back down and pick up the car from the car park to go on further adventures.

After driving through the forests and meadows, stop by the picturesque town of Bad Tölz amidst the Bavarian Alps, renowned for its medieval architecture. Just a stone's throw from the main pedestrian street of Bad Tölz, you'll find Cucina Al Ponte, a local favourite pizzeria often referred to by guests as Little Italy. Here, you can indulge in classic Italian cuisine - homemade pasta and freshly baked crispy pizzas. On the small outdoor patio, you can savour their signature desserts with a cup of flavoured coffee.

After dining, it's time to refuel your car. Stop by the Bernau Outlet, which boasts a high-powered charging station in the car park. Spend some time browsing a few stylish, quality shops from leading top brands while your car charges.

Treat yourself! Welcome to the luxury of body and mind relaxation at a secluded location surrounded by pristine nature.
Take a dip in the year-round, heated, infinity-edge outdoor hot tub pool with breathtaking views of the surroundings, and indulge in pure happiness.
In the cooler season, the panoramic sauna with a view of the Predigtstuhl mountain will be a highlight, after which you can relax in the quiet sauna garden or drink lemon water by the fireplace.
Please note that the SPA is for adults only.
A parking slot in a large underground car park, SPA and a table for dinner are better to be booked during the room-reservation process.

It's time to make the evening even more delightful, adding a vibrant pinch of taste sensations, and the GenussArt restaurant is the perfect place for it. It offers features of modern dishes, reimagined and enhanced under the influence of award-winning cuisine.
You will be offered a variety of menus, from creative chef's dishes to traditional Bavarian cuisine with a touch of international influence. There is also a special Vegetarian Menu and a Low Carb Menu.

Return to your tranquil room with alpine charm at the delightful 4-star Klosterhof Hotel.
The hotel is situated in a secluded, enchanting location on a sunny plateau, nestled in the beautiful isolation of Berchtesgaden. The estate was once encircled by thick monastery walls, of which only the park now remains.
