View from the Isar footbridge

From the jetty you have a great view of the Isar. Watch the almost 300-kilometer-long river on its journey to the Danube - it is just incredibly relaxing. :)

Wide, lush green moorland, which is criss-crossed by small streams. The Ellbacher Moor has been a nature reserve since 1940 and is part of the Tölzer Moorachse. The bog is an important habitat for butterflies and other insects.

Ellbach and Kirchsee Moor

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Ellbachmoor and Kirchseemoor have been under nature protection since 1940. Here you can see cotton grass, maybe also a carnivorous morning dew and many species of insects and reptiles only found in bogs. But please don't leave the path.

In Ellbach I had a little trouble finding the way to the church because it looked like a private road... 😅

I don't know the Ellbach Moor yet. Today is the day. We hike 🥾 fairly flat from Tölz there and back. The witty Luigi lets off steam from the work week 😤.

The old town of Tölz offers a welcome change with a pit stop ☕️🍰😁.

Beautiful and varied circular hike around Bad Tölz in beautiful weather. The view from the Kalvarienberg is always beautiful and the Ellbacher Moor is worth seeing even in winter.

May 3, 2025,Bad Tölz – Ellbacher Moor

The loop from Tölz to the Ellbach Moor is well-known. And rightly so.
The Eichmühle natural outdoor pool on the edge of the moor was still closed, but it probably offers a pleasant alternative to the usual water parks. It brings back memories of the former Alpamare in Bad Tölz, which was Germany's first "surf wave pool" when it opened …

Nice easy foothills hike in the Alps. The weather cooperated and we were able to soak up the sun again. Last but not least, the BRB and the S-Bahn worked and made arrival and departure relaxed. A successful day.
