Maps and trails
Holzkirchen is known for its picturesque old town with many historic buildings. The town hall and the church of St. Laurentius are particularly worth seeing. A walk through the Schlossbergpark is also worthwhile to take a look at the beautiful panorama.

Miesbach, on the other hand, is famous for its traditional market and charming alleyways. Here you can also visit the magnificent parish church of St. Georg or pay a visit to the local history museum.

In addition to these cultural highlights, there are many other activities in the region: for example, hike along the Mangfall Valley or explore Lake Tegernsee by boat. In winter, you can also go skiing on the nearby slopes.

But it's not just outdoor fans who get their money's worth here - the region also has plenty to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try local specialities such as Schweinshaxe or Obatzda!

And what to do in bad weather? How about a trip to the Monte Mare leisure pool in Miesbach or a guided tour of the brewery museum in Holzkirchen?

Whether summer or winter - this region is always worth a trip! Let yourself be inspired by our travel guide and experience for yourself where Holzkirchen and Miesbach are at their best.

    Die Tour hält was sie verspricht und die Aussicht vom Taubenberghaus in Richtung Voralpen ist fantastisch. Und die kleine Trails sind nicht von schlechten Eltern. Anfängertour ist es daher nicht.

    Sehr schöne Radltour mit häufigen Ausblicken in die Berge. Abstecher zum Hackensee nicht vergessen. Ideal auch für Frühjahr und Herbst, auch wenn einem da das Baden im Kirchsee entgeht.

    Ich bin die Tour am 22.06.2025 gefahren, Sonntag, heiß, 32 Grad, die meisten Leute hatten eher Baden in diesen Seen im Sinn, so auch als trainierten Radler etwas anstrengend - viel Trinken und Energie mitnehmen. Wirklich schöne Runde zu diesen Seen, schönste Wälder, sehr abwechslungsreich auch durch kleine Dörfer. Kleine Challenges: - Vom Kirchsee weg ein kurzer etwas steilerer Anstieg; - am Hackensee könnte man sich die vlt. 200m Uferwurzelweg sparen - ich glaub das kann kaum jemand fahren und schieben macht da auch keinen Spaß, heftige Wurzeln und eng. - Später nach einem längeren Asphaltstück geht‘s links in den Wald auf vielleicht 300m sehr verwucherten kaum erkennbaren Weg (Navi!), der schon lange kein Radl mehr gesehen hat - ich glaube nicht dass hier jemand mit Kinderanhänger fahren kann (eine Abzweigung vorher links abbiegen). Gesamt ein richtig schöner Sonntagsausflug, tatsächlich Premium - ich bin von und nach Lenggries gefahren, so 20k mehr, also bei 60k - nur am Rande.

    The hike is ok, there is pretty cool in the forest, a lot of shadow, but the Kirchsee does not worth visiting in summer: an overcrowded not pleasant place. I guess, in autumn is the best. There are not many banches though, only near the lake.

    Als Einsteiger Tour nicht zu empfehlen- doch einige schöne Mountenbike Strecken mit Wurzeln und groben Schotter sind dabei. Wie im Kommentar nicht direkt nach Regen fahren Landschaftlich sehr schön und abwechslungsreich Taubenstein Gasthaus zu empfehlen.

    gerade an heißen Tagen ist diese Tour angenehm da sie überwiegend im Wald verläuft. fast alles auf Schotter - einige Stellen auch anspruchsvoll mit kurzem steilen Anstieg. Runde verläuft am Gestüt von Lisa Müller vorbei mit sehr schönen Koppel voller Pferde.

    Das war ein sehr schöner, kurzer Spaziergang. Besonders der erste Teil mit Marktplatz, Steindl-Allee und Kogl. Trotz wechselhaftem Wetter hatten wir heute auch eine sehr gute Sicht auf die Berge.
