A well-researched report on the Hochkopfhütte was prepared by the students of Staffelsee-Gymnasium Murnau:
ludwig.cmswp.de/2011/07/24/hochkopfhutte

A highlight for all who want to investigate Ludwig II.
Incidentally, the Walchensee foresters once told me that their ancestors even hauled up a wing for Wagner here.
Only - Wagner preferred to live in the inns in Walchensee than in the loneliness of the Hochkopfhütte ....
And so not much has been composed, up there.

A dream view of the Walchensee. Hardly any people here, as there is a crisp up or down here. But all dirt road. No problem.

Today we enjoyed the beautiful weather and got out into nature.
First, we paid 6 euros for the toll road and then another 5 euros for the parking lot 😏
The path to the Hochkopfhütte (no service) is beautiful and varied. From the hut, you have a beautiful view towards the Zugspitze. We also climbed the summit – a short …

February 22, 2025,Naturwasserfall – Hochkopfhütte Runde von Walchensee

From the hiking car park at Walchensee, after a short stretch along the road, we went up to the Altlacher Hochkopf 1328m. The summit is densely forested and can be reached via the Hochkopfhütte, which is 230m west and 28m below the summit. The Hochkopfhütte was built around 1850 by King Max II of Bavaria as a hunting lodge. Richard …

There are great waterfalls and pools up there - great for swimming on hot summer days.
The way down is rather boring on forest roads... At the summit there is a DAV self-catering hut

August 29, 2022,Altlacher Hochkopf - same procedure as every year 🙂🐶

The Altlacher Hochkopf was the first peak during our honeymoon in 2002 (one week holiday apartment in Benediktbeuern 😀).
Since then we have tried to use this every year as an introduction to the mountain hiking season. Always followed by a swim in the Walchensee. 🥶
This year the 16th successful attempt. With dog(s) for six years now! And therefore …
