Discover Reichersbeuern

Reichersbeuern lies on the edge of the Bavarian foothills, between Bad Tölz and Lake Tegernsee. Baroque religious buildings, a direct rail connection to Munich and Lenggries, and a cycle path that continues to the town offer different starting points for your trip. Whether you are mainly interested in architectural history, plan to arrive by train, or want to explore a cycling route, these priorities may also influence your choice of accommodation.

Baroque buildings in Reichersbeuern

The Greilinger Bach Chapel is a Baroque octagonal building with a tent roof. Bernhard Clas endowed it around 1700; it was consecrated in 1708. The Catholic parish church of St. Korbinian also combines different periods of construction: the Baroque hall church has a choir closed on three sides and a west tower, while its core is Romanesque and Late Gothic. Together, the two buildings invite visitors to look at both Baroque design and older architectural layers.

Getting around by train or bike

Reichersbeuern is directly connected to the BRB rail line to Munich and Lenggries. The railway line began operating in 1874. For planning your own trip, check the current timetable: the historical year marks the start of operations, not the current timetable.

In the wider region, the Lake Constance–Lake Königssee Cycle Route runs through the Attenloher Filze and continues to Reichersbeuern. The route offers another point of interest for travelers interested in cycling trips. Check the latest route information before setting out, as routes may be temporarily changed.

Things to do in the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination

Within the same wider destination, you can also choose routes according to their theme and the time you have available. The Benedictus Trail is an easy, 2.31-kilometer themed route from the information stele in the monastery car park to Stele 12 in front of the Basilica of St. Benedict. The Loisach Trail is an easy, 3.34-kilometer walk through Wolfratshausen along the Loisach, passing traces of rafting, the Kastenmühl weir, and the raft landing; the stated walking time is 49 minutes. The two descriptions highlight different things: one is a themed route through the monastery landscape, the other a city walk with stops relating to rafting. Check local trail conditions when planning your trip.

The wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination is also shaped by local history and tradition. The historical town walk through Wolfratshausen explores the town’s thousand-year history and that of its residents, and visits, among other places, the parish church of St. Andreas, built in 1484, the Humpelbräu, and the craftsmen’s houses. In Bad Tölz, the annual Leonhardi procession attracts tens of thousands of spectators; it is considered the largest Leonhardi procession in Upper Bavaria and one of Germany’s most beautiful horse pilgrimages. The procession follows a set order through Marktstraße up to Kalvarienberg and the Leonhardskapelle. A service with a blessing for participants takes place there, before the procession circles the chapel, built in 1718, twice and returns to Marktstraße. Check the dates and schedule for the relevant year.

For families who enjoy solving puzzles and exploring together, the Blomberg Discovery Trail has activity stations, puzzles, and wooden telescopes that offer views of environmental features. Stories for children add to the experience on this trail, which is open from spring to autumn. This seasonal restriction can help you plan your visit to fit your travel dates.
