Hiking Route and Townscape in Eurasburg
The route combines a connection to the town with longer stretches through the forest. Its approximate length is a useful guide, but does not replace making a decision based on your own plans for the day. If you would also like to see historic buildings while hiking, you will find the Church of the Holy Cross on Kirchberg hill. It is considered a landmark of Eurasburg and is of Romanesque origin.
The church was extended during two further construction periods, around 1550 and 1875. Inside the church is a 1.50-metre-high cross dedicated to the Holy Cross. The years 1649 and 1717 are inscribed on it; the cross is included in the directory of Bavaria’s ecclesiastical works of art. This brings together two different local interests: a longer hike through the forest and a visit to the historic church site on Kirchberg hill.
Culture in Beuerberg
Beuerberg also offers attractions with their own distinctive focus. In June 2025, Beuerberg Monastery reopened as a church-run cultural centre with a hotel and seminar house following a comprehensive renovation. Check the latest information directly with the monastery before visiting.
The Lausbubengeschichten circular trail leads through Beuerberg and its surroundings to original locations from the Lausbuben films. Information boards and QR codes featuring original scenes from the films are located at the filming locations. This gives the trail a different character from the forest hiking route near Eurasburg: here, the focus is on film locations and their scenes, while there, it is on the route through different parts of the Eurasburg Forest.
More Trails in the Wider Travel Destination
The wider travel destination of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen offers more options for hiking and cultural interests. The Tölzer Land Health Climate Park comprises 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 routes ranging from 2 to 8.6 kilometres. Check the number of routes again when planning your current trip, as the offering may be updated.
Two routes in the district provide specific distances for comparison: the easy Benediktusweg is 2.31 kilometres long and runs from the information stele at the monastery car park to Stele 12 in front of the Basilica of St. Benedict. The Loisachweg in Wolfratshausen is an easy 3.34-kilometre walk; the stated walking time is 49 minutes. It follows the Loisach past traces of the timber rafting trade, the Kastenmühl weir and the raft landing stage. This lets you factor route length into plans for different destinations, and, for the Loisachweg, include a stated walking time as well.
Historic Attractions and Events in the Region
For a taste of urban culture, a tour through the historic centre of Wolfratshausen takes in buildings such as the parish church of St. Andreas, built in 1484, the Humpelbräu and the craftsmen’s houses. It offers an insight into the city’s thousand-year history and its residents. The Wolfratshausen Museum offers a different perspective: objects donated by local residents provide a cross-section of domestic culture, arts and crafts, trades, commerce and contemporary history.
The Leonhardifahrt in Bad Tölz is a recurring event with its own set itinerary. It is considered the largest Leonhardi procession in Upper Bavaria and one of Germany’s most beautiful horse pilgrimages; it attracts tens of thousands of spectators every year. The procession follows a set order through Marktstraße up to Kalvarienberg and the Leonhardskapelle. A service with a blessing of the participants takes place there, after which the procession circles the chapel, built in 1718, twice and returns to Marktstraße. If you would like to plan around this event, check the date and schedule for the relevant year.
