Moralt Alm – just beyond Bad Tölz. This classic day-trip inn is located in the immediate vicinity of this spa town on the edge of the mountains. It's not actually on top of the mountain, but rather down in the valley, not far from the Isar River. Nevertheless, it's ideal for a short excursion, which certainly gives you that "alpine feeling." The easiest circular route, for example, leads west from the pedestrian zone across the Isar, a short distance downstream through the park, over the narrow Isar bridge in front of the reservoir, back to the right bank, and a few more meters further. The route then backtracks a bit and climbs up to the Calvary Church, with its magnificent view to the south up into the Isar Valley. The return route to the starting point then leads back down into the town via the Stations of the Cross. Due to its location north, or rather, to the right, of the Isar River, the inn is no longer considered part of the main area. Nevertheless, it is easily accessible on foot and by car. Its wide range of culinary offerings is not only appealing for an afternoon coffee visit, but also, despite its short menu, offers a good range of lunch and dinner options. The mountain pasture is open year-round, even without a day off. So you can rely on it. Pictured: View from the southeast of the beautiful main building with its large terrace, where you can enjoy yourself either in bright sunshine or under the shady trees. Parking is available just a few meters away for those who rely on cars. Public access is available via Jahnstraße or from Ellbach, both in the north.
