The Ellbach-Kirchsee Moor has been a protected nature reserve since 1940; Reutberg Monastery lies on a hilltop north of Sachsenkam. A 17.52-kilometre winter cross-country ski trail is also listed, but marked as closed. This means your travel planning brings together nature, a monastery and a winter sports option with a clear limitation.
Moor and Reutberg Monastery
The Ellbach-Kirchsee Moor has been protected since 1940. Reutberg Monastery offers a different point of interest: its location on a hilltop north of Sachsenkam provides a clear landmark for orientation. The landscape and the monastery are distinct themes that you can consider separately when choosing what to focus on.
The monastery is also a named stop on the circular route: in the village, a turn leads there, and you can take a break in the beer garden. If you plan to stop, check local conditions before setting out.
Cross-country ski trail: route and status
The Bad Tölz, Sachsenkam, Reutberg Monastery trail is designated for winter, rated easy and 17.52 kilometres long. Both Bad Tölz, Freibad Eichmühle, and Sachsenkam, Reutberg Monastery, are listed as starting and finishing points. The trail is marked as closed and therefore cannot be planned as an available cross-country skiing option. This status is crucial when choosing a winter activity.
More options in Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district
Tölzer Land represents all 21 towns and municipalities in Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district as a tourism brand. The Tölzer Land health climate park includes 37 routes across a network of more than 340 kilometres between Bad Heilbrunn, Bad Tölz, Kochel am See, Wackersberg and Lenggries. The Tölzer Land also offers six signposted Nordic walking trails, ranging from 2 to 8.6 kilometres. These figures show different scales: a large network of routes and a manageable selection of individual trails. As the number of routes may change, check these details before making specific plans.
One walk in the district with a specified duration is the Loisachweg in Wolfratshausen. This easy, 3.34-kilometre walk follows the Loisach past traces of the timber rafting trade, the Kastenmühlwehr weir and the Floßlände landing stage; the stated walking time is 49 minutes. This lets you choose a walk with a clearly stated route and duration instead of first having to navigate a larger network of trails.
Those interested in urban history will find a different focus in Wolfratshausen: a tour of the historic town centre explores the town’s thousand-year history and that of its residents. It takes in historic buildings such as the parish church of St. Andreas, built in 1484, the Humpelbräu and the craftsmen’s houses. Alongside nature and route options, the district therefore also offers a clearly history-focused town walk.
