Sachsenkam: Moor, Monastery and Winter Cross-Country Ski Trail

Moor, Monastery and a Break at the Beer Garden

The Ellbach-Kirchseemoor is associated with Sachsenkam and has been a protected nature reserve since 1940. Reutberg Monastery offers a different highlight: it lies on a hilltop north of Sachsenkam. The two destinations make a good pairing if you want to combine nature with a notable landmark during your stay.

The circular route also leads to the monastery: in the village, a path branches off towards it, and you can take a break in the beer garden. This gives the excursion a clear destination and a place to pause. Check local conditions before planning your visit. Whether the moor, monastery or break at the beer garden is the main draw can help you decide whether Sachsenkam is a suitable base for your holiday-apartment search.

Cross-Country Skiing in Winter: Check the Status

The Bad Tölz–Sachsenkam–Reutberg Monastery trail is an easy, 17.52-kilometre cross-country ski trail for winter. Possible starting and finishing points are the Eichmühle outdoor swimming pool in Bad Tölz and Reutberg Monastery in Sachsenkam. The trail is closed. Take this status into account when planning and check local information before including it as an activity during your stay.

The trail is a winter route and is closed; Reutberg Monastery and the moor offer a different focus when planning your trip.

More Experiences in the Wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen Destination

The Tölzer Land in the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination offers more options for outings: the Heilklimapark has 37 routes across a network of more than 340 kilometres between Bad Heilbrunn, Bad Tölz, Kochel am See, Wackersberg and Lenggries. The Tölzer Land’s hiking offer also includes six signposted Nordic walking routes ranging from 2 to 8.6 kilometres. Check the route information again when planning, as it may change.

For families looking for stories and hands-on activities along the way, the Blomberg Discovery Trail features things to try and puzzles to solve, wooden telescopes for viewing environmental features, and stories for children. The trail is accessible from spring to autumn. This is a different kind of excursion from the routes around Reutberg Monastery and may be of interest when planning a stay in the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination.

The Leonhardifahrt in Bad Tölz offers a cultural contrast. It is considered Upper Bavaria’s largest Leonhardifahrt and one of Germany’s most beautiful horse pilgrimages; tens of thousands of spectators attend every year. The set procession route follows Marktstraße to Kalvarienberg and the Leonhardskapelle. A service with a blessing for the participants takes place there, after which the procession circles the chapel, built in 1718, twice before returning to Marktstraße. If you would like to see the procession, check the event dates and schedule separately.

A walking tour of the historic centre of Wolfratshausen offers a different focus, introducing the city’s thousand-year history and its residents and visiting historic buildings such as St. Andreas Parish Church, built in 1484, the Humpelbräu and the craftsmen’s houses. You can weigh up different excursion ideas—a festival, a historical walk or routes in the countryside—without confusing them with the distinctive features of Sachsenkam itself.

Choose the Right Base

If the moor and Reutberg Monastery are your main interests, these Sachsenkam attractions can guide your search for a holiday apartment in the village. If you would also like to include regional tours or cultural experiences, plan activities in Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen as separate excursion destinations.
