Of particular tourist relevance are the historic towns of Bad Tölz and Wolfratshausen with their picturesque old towns and numerous sights. Particularly recommended are the Benediktbeuern Monastery and the Glentleiten open-air museum, where you can gain an insight into the life of farmers in the 19th century.

But Geretsried itself also has a lot to offer: Here, for example, you can go swimming in the "Trimini" adventure pool or try your hand at golf on one of the most beautiful courses in Bavaria. Those who like it culturally should definitely make a detour to the Waldramhaus Museum.

Culinary the region also has a lot to offer: Enjoy hearty Bavarian delicacies in a cosy restaurant or try regional specialities such as the famous Obazda cheese.

If it rains, there are also indoor activities such as a visit to the Monte Mare swimming and sauna paradise or the Cineplex Penzing cinema centre.

Of course, the most beautiful thing is to be out in nature - especially impressive here are hikes through the Ammergau Alps or a ride on the historic Walhalla Railway through the Isar Valley.

Geretsried, Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen is definitely worth a trip and offers something for every taste. We hope this Travel Guide helps you plan your next adventure!

    Das ist eine Bomben-Rennradtour. Landschaftlich wunderschön, die Straßen sind alle asphaltiert und zum großen Teil ohne viel Autoverkehr, obwohl ich am Sonntag bei Traumwetter geradelt bin.

    24 Stunden nach meinem ersten 100-km-Lauf suche ich immer noch nach Worten, um diese Erfahrung irgendwie zusammenzufassen... Alles was ich jetzt schon sagen kann sind zwei Dinge: 1. Unser Körper ist zu so viel mehr fähig, als wir denken 2. Ich bin so dankbar für all die unglaublichen Menschen, die ich bei Outdooractive kennengelernt habe und die ich nicht nur Kollegen, sondern Freunde nenne
