Arrival in Bad Tölz
This well-known Bavarian small town is best discovered on a casual stroll: walk for a bit along the river Isar with the Golgotha in full view, then past the spa house into the market road. You can marvel at the beautiful houses whilst taking a break in one of the numerous pavement cafés.
After a short train journey to Lenggries, you continue along the long-distance walking trail Via Alpina to the Aueralm via the Hirschtal-col below the steep rocks of Mount Fockenstein. Enjoy a descent break with Bavarian Alpine delicacies before you continue through forests and across meadows with a wonderful long-distance view down onto Lake Tegernsee and descend to Bad Wiessee.
You walk along high-altitude paths with amazing views of the mountain in Galaun, then onwards to the little mountain chapel on the rock formation of Mount Riederstein, from where you have a magnificent view down to the lake and onto the surrounding mountains. Once back on the lake, the Tegernsee brewery inn invites you to a cool beverage, before you return with the Tegernsee ship to Bad Wiessee.
From Tegernsee, you soon reach alpine pastures via a steep forest trail surrounding the well-known Alpine beer garden Neureuth. After a break with lovely views of the lake, you casually continue your tour to the Gindelalm alp and then you descend along forest paths and forest roads to Lake Schliersees after the marina you reach the pretty and neat spa park situated directly at the lakeside of Lake Schliersee.
Along the lakeside adventure path, you get to Fischhausen. Then along the path ‚ Bockerlbahnweg with numerous info points via the former forest railway, you first walk to the col ‚Spitzingsattel’ and then onwards to the picturesque Lake Spitzingsee. Walk around this nature idyll before you take a break in the historic chalet ‚Wurzhütte’ and then return by bus to Schliersee.
A light and airy cable car ride take you to the summit station on Mount Taubenstein. Then you walk on a high-altitude path with brilliant views of the Rotwandhaus, where you have the opportunity to climb to the peak of the Rotwand if you fancy. Onwards via the picturesque cirque ‚Großtiefentaler Kessel’ to Lake Soinsee with its idyllic location, then along alpine pastures and flowering meadows to Bayrischzell.
The King-Maximilian path leads you past a waterfall to the Wendelstein-Alp. From there, you walk to the summit with its impressive meteorological observatory and along the panorama-loop-path to the Wendelstein cave with its accessible underground tunnels. After a snack in the panorama-beer garden, you take the cable car back into the valley and casually walk back to Bayrischzell.
