Five Nordic Walking Routes with Different Profiles
The routes differ in length, elevation gain, duration and stated difficulty level:
- Route 19 – Vital Fountain Route: moderate, 8 km, 112 metres of elevation gain, 1 hour 50 minutes.
- Route 20 – Beautiful View or Adventure Route: moderate, 12.6 km, 178 metres of elevation gain, 3 hours.
- Route 21 – Castle and Church Route: moderate, 13.4 km, 191 metres of elevation gain, 3 hours 10 minutes.
- Route 22 – Ambach Route: difficult, 16 km, 231 metres of elevation gain, 4 hours 32 minutes.
- Route 23 – Lake Route: easy, 8.1 km, 59 metres of elevation gain, 1 hour 45 minutes.
A comparison shows that the shortest route does not automatically have the shortest stated duration: at 8.1 km, Route 23 is slightly longer than Route 19 at 8 km, but is estimated to take 1 hour 45 minutes rather than 1 hour 50 minutes and is rated easy rather than moderate. At 16 km, 231 metres of elevation gain and 4 hours 32 minutes, Route 22 has the greatest distance and time commitment of the five options. This lets you weigh the details together instead of looking only at the kilometre count.
Water Sports and Getting Your Bearings Locally
The WasserSportCenter Starnberger See in Münsing offers catamaran sailing, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding. If you plan to take part in one of these activities, check the current availability of the offerings before your trip. This gives you room to weigh your preferred activity against the walking routes without giving equal priority to both.
For getting your bearings, the local leisure map includes maps of the individual hamlets in the municipality, sights, and some hiking and cycling routes. So there is more to explore than the Nordic walking routes: you can also include the hamlet maps and listed excursion destinations in your plans.
In the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination
For broader trip planning in the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination, the Tölzer Land Health Climate Park offers a larger network of routes: it comprises 37 routes across a network of more than 340 kilometres between Bad Heilbrunn, Bad Tölz, Kochel am See, Wackersberg and Lenggries. As the number of routes may change, check the details for your current plans.
The Blomberg Discovery Trail offers a different experience. Hands-on and puzzle-solving stations, wooden telescopes offering views of environmental features, and stories for children make the route an exploration trail with a variety of things to discover. It can be walked from spring to autumn. If you are looking for these kinds of activities in the wider region, this seasonal note is an important part of your planning.
Culture and tradition are also part of what the wider destination has to offer: the Leonhardi Ride in Bad Tölz is considered the largest Leonhardi Ride in Upper Bavaria and one of Germany’s most beautiful horse pilgrimages; it attracts tens of thousands of spectators every year. The procession travels along Marktstraße to Calvary Hill and the Leonhardi Chapel. A service and a blessing for the participants are held there before the procession circles the Leonhardi Chapel, built in 1718, twice and returns to Marktstraße. Check dates and schedules separately.
