Hiking with a range of focuses
As a tourism brand, Tölzer Land represents all 21 towns and municipalities in the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen. The Tölzer Land climatic health park includes 37 routes across a network of more than 340 kilometres between Bad Heilbrunn, Bad Tölz, Kochel am See, Wackersberg and Lenggries. Since the number of routes may change, it is worth checking the latest information when planning. The six signposted Nordic walking routes in Tölzer Land offer a different scale: they are between 2 and 8.6 kilometres long. This comparison shows the range of regional options without specifying a walking time for these routes.
Individual themed trails also offer different experiences. The meditative Benediktusweg is a circular trail around Benediktbeuern Abbey in the Loisach-Kochelsee moorland. Twelve stations share the teachings of Saint Benedict; QR codes and audio files provide more in-depth information. In Wolfratshausen, the easy Loisachweg combines traces of the rafting trade with the Kastenmühlwehr weir and the Floßlände landing site along its 3.34-kilometre route. The stated walking time is 49 minutes. This makes it possible to plan this particular walk differently from the extensive network of trails in the climatic health park.
Culture and regional history
In Wolfratshausen, a town walk takes you through the historic town centre and introduces the town’s thousand-year history and its residents. Stops include the parish church of St. Andreas, built in 1484, the Humpelbräu and the artisans’ houses. The Wolfratshausen Museum uses objects of all sizes donated by local residents to present a cross-section of domestic culture, arts and crafts, trades, commerce and contemporary history. Another way to explore the past is the Erinnerungsort BADEHAUS in the Waldram district of Wolfratshausen: its audio guide leads through the permanent exhibition or on a historical tour of the area, focusing on regional contemporary history.
A recurring event in the wider destination is the Leonhardifahrt in Bad Tölz. It is considered the largest Leonhardifahrt in Upper Bavaria and one of Germany’s most beautiful horse pilgrimages; it attracts tens of thousands of spectators every year. The set route passes through Marktstraße to Calvary Hill and the Leonhardskapelle. A service is held there, with a blessing for the participants. The procession then circles the Leonhardikapelle, built in 1718, twice before returning to Marktstraße. As dates and event schedules may vary, check the information for your travel date.
