Between high mountains and green meadows

You like to hike or climb? You are interested in baroque churches and monasteries? You like to sit in a beergarden, eating delicious food and drinking that refreshing beer they call "Weißbier"? You like to go through little villages with hundreds of flowers on the wooden balconies? You want to take a bath in a clear lake?
You can do all that in the region around Bad Tölz. Bad Tölz has been built on the banks of the river Isar and is famous for its wonderful main street, where you can sit outside without being disturbed by any cars.

All the photos on this lens have been taken by me and cannot be used without getting my permission.

Upper Bavaria

Between Munich and Innsbruck

If you drive from Munich in the direction of the Alps, you have to drive through Bad Tölz. It is on the direct way to Innsbruck, Austria.Now you might ask why I took Holzkirchen as a point on the map. Well, Google Map strictly resisted to Bad Tölz, for whatever reason, however accepted Holzkirchen. if you zoom out you will find Bad Tölz on the map and maybe some other places mentioned in this lens as well.
Enjoy playing around!

The Mainstreet of Bad Tölz

Have a drink in the famous Marktstraße!

Marktstrasse in Bad Tölz
When you walk up from the banks of the Isar through the main street of Bad Tölz you pass many typical bavarian restaurants. As soon as the weather will allow it chairs and tables are put outside. You can have a delicious typical Bavarian dish, or just a cup of coffee, enjoying the southern atmosphere.

Upper Bavaria is the part of Bavaria which offers deep blue lakes and high mountains. In late spring you can take a bath in a lake in the late morning and go skiing in the afternoon (or the other way round). Looking at this mousepad fills me with calm. Maybe it has the same effect on you?
