Baroque Buildings and Earlier Traces
In Reichersbeuern, you’ll encounter two buildings with distinct architectural histories. Greilinger Bach Chapel is a Baroque octagonal building with a hipped roof. Bernhard Clas endowed it around 1700, and it was consecrated in 1708. The Catholic parish church of St. Korbinian is a Baroque hall church with a three-sided apse and a western tower. Its core dates back to the Romanesque and Late Gothic periods. Together, the buildings invite you to look for both Baroque forms and older structural elements during your stay.
History also plays a role in public life across the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen travel destination. 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 follows a set order along Marktstraße to Calvary and the Leonhardi Chapel. A church service with a blessing for the participants takes place there, before the procession circles the Leonhardi Chapel, built in 1718, twice and returns to Marktstraße. If you’d like to experience this tradition, check the event dates before your trip.
Rail Connections and Cycling Routes
Reichersbeuern is directly connected to the BRB railway line to Munich and Lenggries. The railway line opened in 1874. For your specific plans, it’s a good idea to check the current timetable. This will help you decide whether the train suits your journey or your plans for the day, without relying on a particular service frequency.
