INSTAGRAM Sunrise hike on „Herzogstand“ in southern Bavaria We started at lake Walchensee under a thick layer of inversion fog which is is typical for that region in autumn, and emerged from the fog 500m of elevation later. The stars were sparkling above the clouds and when we reached the Pavillon on top of the mountain the red light of the dawn was already softly announcing the new day. What a view it was over an ocean of waving fog in the valleys and the Alpine foothills of Bavaria, hidden to all the people below the clouds. With the slender crescent of the moon the landscape nearly seemed to be from out of this world. No matter how hard it is to get out of your cozy bed, no matter how you are cursing the heavy load of your pinching backpack or how much sweat it will cost you to reach the top … it is worth it every single time. Thus smitten with amazement we agreed that the name of the mountain (Translation „The Duke´s Stand“) couldn’t live up it´s name by far, as it truly had been a King´s View that early morning.
