From the village of Rottach-Egern at the southern end of the Tegernsee lake in Bavaria, you can take a cable car to the summit of the Wallberg mountain. This peak rises to 1,722 metres and offers a fantastic view over the surroundings and the lake. The cable car has been in operation since 1951. It was the dream of a local businessman, and runs regularly throughout the year, and tickets must be purchased to use it.
