Herb Adventure Park and Herb Trail
The Herb Adventure Park is open to visitors of all ages, with free admission, for walks and relaxation. Signposted plant collections and activity zones are characteristic features of the park. Access information may change, so check the latest details before your visit.
The easy Bad Heilbrunn Herb Adventure Trail is 12.09 km long and passes through Ramsau and the centre of Bad Heilbrunn. Starting points are Reindlschmiede, Ramsau or the tourist information office in the town centre. If you would like to plan a route of a set length, the trail offers a specific guide; when visiting the park, the focus is instead on walking and relaxation. Check local conditions before setting off.
St. Kilian and the Adelheid Spring
St. Kilian Church was remodelled and renovated in the Baroque style in 1724 and decorated with stucco and frescoes. Its design gives the building a clear connection to local history. If you would like to visit the interior, check local information beforehand.
The Adelheid Spring is also part of Bad Heilbrunn’s history. Named after Electress Henriette Adelheid of Savoy, its water contains bromine and iodine. It gained European renown during the Renaissance and turned the hamlet into a court spa. The spring was closed to the public in 2004.
More trails in the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination
Beyond Bad Heilbrunn, the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination offers more options for planning tours. The Tölzer Land Healing Climate Park comprises 37 routes on a network of more than 340 kilometres between Bad Heilbrunn, Bad Tölz, Kochel am See, Wackersberg and Lenggries. The number of routes may change; check the latest information before planning a tour. The Tölzer Land also offers six signposted Nordic walking routes, ranging from 2 to 8.6 kilometres.
One specific point of comparison at the regional level is the Benediktusweg: an easy, 2.31-kilometre themed trail from the information stele at the monastery car park to Stele 12 in front of St. Benedict’s Basilica. Its length differs considerably from the 12.09-kilometre Herb Adventure Trail in Bad Heilbrunn. When choosing a route, you can therefore consider both its stated length and its easy rating; check local conditions.
At Blomberg, the discovery trail features activity and puzzle stations, wooden telescopes offering views of environmental features, and stories for children. The trail is accessible between spring and autumn. This seasonal attraction is part of the wider Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen destination and adds a child-focused option to the region’s trails.
