Grosses Paraplui
At one of the loveliest lookout points in Bavaria, Maximilian showed off this corner of his kingdom to Czar Alexander I of Russia and Emperor Franz I of Austria during their journey to the Congress of Verona in October 1821. You can follow in their footsteps on a 45-minute round-trip hike to the lookout; a plaque marks the spot from which they admired the open expanse of the Tegernsee and the mountains beyond. The 1¼-km (¾-mile) walking path starts just between 37 and 39 Seestrasse—walk to the eastern end of the Schlosspromenade, cross the road, and join the narrow path to the right of the large white building.
