Trekking Munich to Venice. John Hayes
is being followed although again you need to watch out for cycle route signs that at times, would take you in the wrong direction.
Another day and another walk along the River Isar. The highlight is a particularly beautiful stretch, halfway along, where the route climbs above the river and looks down on it through ancient beech and pine.
From the train station head south over Sauerlecher Strasse and follow a path along the side of the railway line south and then southeast for 1.3km. Turn left into Heidestraße and immediately right into Margeritenstraße. Continue southeast for 700m to a footbridge over the Loisach-Isar Canal. Don’t cross it but turn left and head east along its northern bank.
After 800m walking alongside the canal cross a footbridge and follow a footpath southeast along the western bank of the River Isar for 2.4km towards Gartenberg. When the footpath finishes continue along the Straße Isardamm for about 100m (1), join a path on the left hand side and follow it through trees down to the river. This path then rejoins Straße Isardamm and follows it south for a kilometre. At an ITV waymark (easily missed) (2) turn left and follow a forest path (look out for some World War II bunkers in the woods along the way) southeast for a kilometre to where the path splits (3). Turn left here and head east along a smaller path through trees, now small and scrubby, down to the river again. At the river a short stretch of the original path had been washed away in 2014 but if it has not been reinstated it can be rejoined after a short detour through the trees. Follow the path for 1.4km to a road and cross it.
From the road continue south for another 1.4km through trees (the path is cutting across a meander in the river) to where the path starts to climb through beech trees up a relatively steep path. After a 60m climb (4) (690m) turn left onto a forest road and follow it south for 200m before turning left onto a path (5). The views north from here are excellent and perfectly positioned benches make it a good place to stop for lunch.
Steep descent through beech trees
From the benches follow the path steeply down the hillside, cross a bridge over a stream and head east across a meadow towards the river. Turn sharply left (6) from what looks like the main trail and follow a narrow path to a stream. With luck the log ‘bridge’ that was there in 2014 will have been replaced by something more substantial. After crossing the stream turn right and follow a pebbly road down to the river and then south, mainly along the side of river for 3km to a sign (7) (630m) offering two routes to Bad Tölz. Turn right and follow a path through trees and across a meadow (there is a cross in the meadow, the Seidlkreuz) to a road.
On the other side of the road follow ITV waymarks along the side of a meadow and then turn left (8) and cross it to a farmstead (Lochen) on a low hill. Pass through the farmstead and follow its access road downhill, turn right and head along a road for 800m to the hamlet of Rimslrain (690m).
The next stretch is somewhat tedious involving a road walk through rolling open countryside. For the first time however the views south to the foothills of the Alps and tomorrow’s challenge are uninterrupted.
Continue south along the road for 2.4km past the hamlet of Leitzing and on to Nodern. Turn left at the road junction and then right 100m later (9) (ignoring cycle route signs to Bad Tölz). Take the left fork at the next junction (10) and head east through the hamlet of Pröstein. At the next junction (11), turn right and head into Abberg. As the road disappears follow a track down the hill to the main road to Bad Tölz.
Cross the main road and follow a cycle path south. After 600m drop down to the river (dammed to form a lake at this point – the Isarstausee) and follow a walkway for 1.8km into Bad Tölz.
