The Herzogstand is a mountain in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps, south of the city of Munich. It has an elevation of 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. The Herzogstand Cable Car renewed in 1994 following a fire in 1992, runs to Herzogstand-house at above sea level, and then continues on to the summit of Farnkopf at .
The most popular ascent (AV way 446) leads from the valley station of the aerial tramway across the south side to Herzogstand-house and on to the summit of the mountain. An alternative descent leads along the somewhat exposed but well-secured ridge to the Heimgarten mountain (1790disp=xNaNdisp=x), passing a lodge to the south of the Ohlstaedter Alm (1423disp=xNaNdisp=x). The descent east of the Rotwandkopf continues down to the spa town of Walchensee (Kochel).
The summit of Herzogstand has been used since 1920 for radiotechnical purposes; a VLF transmission antenna was erected between 1920 and 1934. Today, an FM radio transmitter on Fahrenbergkopf broadcasts the following stations:
