Jochberg, Mountain summit in Kochel, Germany.

Jochberg is a 1,565-metre mountain between the Kochelsee and Walchensee lakes. Its north face consists of vertical Hauptdolomit plates from the Upper Triassic, while the south side is formed by steep grass slopes. During the Würm glaciation the summit stood about 150 metres above the ice stream as a nunatak.

The Jochberg's name comes from Altjoch on the Kochelsee, whose residents, the Jocher, held grazing rights and wood-cutting rights on the mountain and built the Jocheralm. During the Würm ice age the summit stood about 150 metres above the ice stream as a nunatak, while the Kesselberg pass served as an Alpine gateway at roughly 1400 metres. In 2013 a pumped-storage plant was proposed in the Jocheralm hollow, but Bavaria dropped the plan in 2014 for economic reasons.

The name comes from Altjoch on the Kochelsee: the Jocher held grazing rights on the mountain and cut wood there, and they built the Jocheralm. That summer farm at 1,382 m, roughly "Yoke Pasture of the Mountains", still serves hikers below the summit.

The trailhead at Kesselberghöhe is easily reached by taking regional train RB 66 from Munich to Kochel, then bus 9608 to the pass. The climb to the summit typically takes two to three hours and the path remains accessible throughout most seasons.

On clear days, the Munich Olympiaturm can be seen from the summit over 60 kilometers away to the north. This surprising long-distance view creates a visual connection between the peak and the distant city.
