Königsstand, Mountain summit in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
Königsstand is a mountain peak in the Ammergau Alps near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, rising to 1,453 meters elevation. From the summit, you can see the Wetterstein range, the Karwendel mountains, and valleys spreading below.
The mountain was once part of hunting routes used by King Maximilian II of Bavaria in the 1800s. The royal path later became a public hiking trail accessible to everyone.
The St. Martin lodge near the summit serves regional Bavarian dishes and maintains local traditions that visitors experience during their hike. People gather here to taste regional food and connect with the area's customs.
The main hiking route covers about 15 kilometers with 738 meters of elevation gain, starting from Bayernhalle in Garmisch. The path follows marked forest trails and is suitable for hikers with average fitness.
The Felsenkanzel is a viewing platform carved into the rock face along the route, offering direct views toward the valley below. This natural observation point often surprises hikers who encounter it.
