The Herzogstand is a mountain in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps, 75 kilometres south of the city of Munich. It has an elevation of 1,731 metres and is northwest of Lake Walchen. Maximilian II of Bavaria had a hunting lodge built underneath today's so-called Herzogstand-house in 1857. His successor, King Ludwig II, had a royal lodge built further up the mountain in 1865.
