Herzogstand

The Herzogstand Cable Car (German: Herzogstandbahn) was built in 1994 as replacement for a 4,500-foot (1,400 m) chair lift through the Bavarian alps. Its two cabins carry passengers from the village of Walchensee (800 metres/2,600 ft above NN) to the Fahrenberg mountain (1,600 metres/5,200 ft above NN) on the upper slopes of the Herzogstand mountain. The cableway uses a 43 mm (1.7 in) carrying cable and a 21 mm (0.83 in) hauling cable. The cable car is driven by a 185 kilowatt engine. The cable way has two supports, which are 28 metres (92 ft) and 24 metres (79 ft) high. The journey time each way is four minutes and the cars reach a top speed of 8 metres per second (18 mph).

Herzogstand Radio Station was a radio communication station built and operated from 1920 to 1946 on the Herzogstand mountain near the Kochelsee in Bavaria, Germany. The plant was conceived by C Lorenz AG to transmit long-wave radio traffic between Germany and the Far East, since the existing large radio stations mainly provided traffic to the west. From 1930 the apparatus was used by the Technical University of Munich for ionosphere research.

The southern edge of the lake lies up against the mountains and the northern shore is bordered by bog lands. The history of the settlement of Kochel (previously Quochcalun) begins with Birg bei Altjoch, a rock extrusion on the shore of the lake.
