Traditional bavarian hotel between Garmisch and Bad Tölz
The “Zwei-Seen-Land” (“Two-Lakes-Country”) at Herzogstand is a dreamlike region for recreation. Centrally located at the edge of the Alps – almost 60 kilometers from the City of Munich – and easily accessible via the Autobahn A95. Kochel am See offers a rural idyll and Bavarian charm in a breathtaking natural scenery. The mountains and lakes of the surrounding area are known far beyond the borders and are loved alike.
Here in this beautiful area our Bavarian Landhotel Herzogstand is located.
In honor of King Ludwig II. of Bavaria the “Gasthaus zum Herzogstand” was named in 1919 after his favorite mountain near the lake Walchensee. For almost 100 years now this is a popular meeting place for guests and locals. Our mission is to preserve tradition and still offer authentic modern hospitality. What do you expect from an original Bavarian, rustic country hotel?
