Icking: Hills, Trails and Culture

Icking combines a distinctive landscape with specific trail connections and a cultural venue in Irschenhausen. A municipal planning description dated July 22, 2024, places Icking in the Ammer-Loisach Hill Country natural region. This glacial moraine landscape was shaped largely by the Isar foreland glacier and has a strongly varied topography. The hill country thus combines a clear geological setting with distinctive terrain; trails and culture add specific points of interest to the landscape.

Trails with Different Starting Points

The Gregori Trail begins at the old church in Icking and is also a hiking trail. The Isar Trail starts at the Icking riding school near the old church and leads into the Isar floodplains to a signposted riding trail managed by the state forest administration. The two starting points are identified differently: the Gregori Trail starts at the church itself, while the Isar Trail starts at the nearby riding school. The trail descriptions also have different emphases: the Gregori Trail is specifically described as a hiking trail, while the Isar Trail connects to a signposted riding trail. This allows you to choose your route based on its starting point and designated character without confusing the two trails. The route descriptions come from a 1997 district regulation. Check current trail conditions before setting out.

Culture in Irschenhausen

In the district of Irschenhausen, Hollerhaus Irschenhausen is a cultural meeting place for readings, exhibitions and concerts. These different events add a cultural dimension to a stay alongside the trails. If you would like to include an event in your plans, check the specific dates in advance. This lets you plan your stay around a walk or a cultural event without having to combine the two into a single itinerary.

Regional Trails in Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen

A regional look at the broader destination of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen complements these local attractions with additional trails in specific locations. The Tölzer Land Health Climate Park includes 37 routes on a trail network of more than 340 kilometers between Bad Heilbrunn, Bad Tölz, Kochel am See, Wackersberg and Lenggries. The network’s total length describes the scope of the entire trail network, not the duration or length of any individual tour. The Tölzer Land hiking offer also includes six signposted Nordic walking routes ranging from 2 to 8.6 kilometers in length. This range provides a concrete comparison of route distances. Route numbers and offerings may change, so it is worth checking the latest information when planning.

One individual tour with additional planning details is the Loisach Trail in Wolfratshausen: this easy walk runs for 3.34 kilometers along the Loisach, passing traces of the rafting trade, the Kastenmühl weir and the raft landing; the stated walking time is 49 minutes. Here, you can take the trail length and estimated walking time into account together. Also in Wolfratshausen, a city walk takes you through the historic town center. It conveys the city’s thousand-year history and that of its residents and visits historic buildings such as St. Andreas Parish Church, built in 1484, the Humpelbräu and the artisan houses. The regional area thus offers a walk along the Loisach and a tour with historic stops as two distinct options.
