Discover Bichl: Natural swimming pool and regional travel ideas

The Bichl natural swimming pool is an outdoor pool in Bichl and offers a concrete focal point for a stay in the area. If swimming is part of your trip plans, check the opening hours for your travel dates before visiting. When looking for a holiday apartment, there is also a question of focus: Should Bichl itself be the main destination, or would you like to choose your accommodation based on specific destinations in the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen travel region? The regional trails, cultural sites and transport services are in the respective locations named; factor in their location and how to get there when planning your trip.

Trails in the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen travel region

As a tourism brand, Tölzer Land represents all 21 towns and municipalities in the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen. The Tölzer Land health climate park has 37 routes on a network of more than 340 kilometres between Bad Heilbrunn, Bad Tölz, Kochel am See, Wackersberg and Lenggries. The hiking options also include six signposted Nordic walking trails ranging from 2 to 8.6 kilometres. The extensive trail network and the individual signposted routes offer different scales for planning your excursions. Check the number of routes and distance details again before planning.

A specific comparison takes you to Wolfratshausen: the easy Loisachweg is a 3.34-kilometre walk along the Loisach, passing traces of rafting, the Kastenmühlwehr weir and the Floßlände landing stage; the stated walking time is 49 minutes. The MeinBankerl-Weg starts in the old town directly in front of the Loisachhalle in the heart of the city and covers about six kilometres, passing well-known filming locations from the series “Hubert und/ohne Staller”; a shortened version is about four kilometres long. This makes it possible to compare an easy riverside walk with a stated walking time and a themed route with a longer or shorter distance, using different criteria.

The Bergwald forest adventure trail offers another focus: across a total of 19 stations, it explains the importance of the forest ecosystem and invites visitors to experience the forest with all their senses.

Culture and tradition in the wider travel region

In Wolfratshausen, a city tour leads through the historic city centre and conveys the thousand-year history of the city and its residents. Stops include the parish church of St. Andreas, built in 1484, the Humpelbräu and the craftsmen’s houses. The Wolfratshausen Museum uses small and large objects donated by local residents to present a cross-section of domestic culture, arts and crafts, trades, commerce and contemporary history in Wolfratshausen. In the Waldram district, the BADEHAUS memorial site focuses on regional contemporary history; an audio guide takes visitors through the permanent exhibition or on a historical tour of the district.

The Leonhardifahrt in Bad Tölz offers a different cultural experience. It is considered the largest Leonhardifahrt in Upper Bavaria and one of Germany’s most beautiful horse pilgrimages; every year it attracts tens of thousands of spectators. The procession follows a set order through Marktstraße up to Kalvarienberg and the Leonhardskapelle. A service with a blessing for the participants is held there; the procession then circles the Leonhardikapelle, built in 1718, twice and returns to Marktstraße. Check the dates and schedule before visiting, as event details may vary.

Discoveries and transport in the regional area

At Blomberg, the discovery trail features stations for trying things out and solving puzzles, wooden viewing telescopes offering views of environmental features, and stories for children. The trail is accessible between spring and autumn. The Bayerische Oberlandbahn runs hourly from Munich Central Station. To get to Blomberg, take bus route 9612 or 9591 from Bad Tölz station to the “Blombergbahn” stop. Check connections and route details before travelling.

The X970 express bus can also help you get around the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen travel region: it connects Bad Tölz, the Isar valley, Geretsried, Wolfratshausen and Starnberg, with stops at various places to visit. Check the current route and service details before travelling.

When looking for a holiday apartment, the distinction is clear: focus your search on Bichl if the natural swimming pool is central to your stay. If a trail or cultural site in another location mentioned here is your main focus, check its location and how to get there, and choose accommodation based on your preferred starting point.
