The Heimgarten is a 1791 m high mountain in the Walchen and Kochelsee Mountains in the Bavarian Prealps . Together with its neighbor, the Herzogstand , it forms a ridge which is in front of the Estergebirge and which slopes north into the Bavarian Alpine foothills .
Hiking routes
The Heimgarten is one of Munich's most popular local mountains , but is less frequented than the Herzogstand, which is accessed by a mountain railway. It can be reached on a simple hike from Ohlstadt (train station), from Schlehdorf am Kochelsee or from Walchensee (bus connection to Kochel ). Surefootedness requires the well-secured ridge transition to the Herzogstand . Below the summit is the private Heimgartenhütte at 1785 m , which is managed until mid-October, but does not offer overnight accommodation.
The Heimgarten is also used a lot in winter, on foot (with a significantly higher level of difficulty compared to summer), with snowshoes or on touring skis. Karl Otto's ascent of Heimgarten in January 1890 was probably the first ski tour to an Alpine summit.
The Ohlstädter Alm is located approximately south of the mountain peak on the H5 hiking trail to Walchensee-Ort at an altitude of 1423 m.
Trivia
The composer Richard Strauss climbed the mountain at the age of 15 in the summer of 1879 and was caught in a thunderstorm. A memory of this experience was one of the germ cells of his Alpine symphony .
