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.
