Bad Tölz, Germany: charming town on the German Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse)
Bad Tölz was to be our last major stop on the German Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse). After we left, it was getting darker, began to rain, and we had to be in Salzburg, Austria very soon. Of all the wonderful towns we visited on the Alpine Road drive, Bad Tölz seemed to grab me the most - an absolute delight and we saw so very little of it, due to severe time constraints. If we ever return to the region I want to see it again and spend much more time exploring this charming town.
As always, Ed does most of the video filming, as well as narration you will hear; I do the majority of the still photos and then edit everything and create the final You Tube video upload.

Bad Tölz is a town in Bavaria, Germany and the administrative center of the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen.
Archaeology has shown continuous occupation of the site of Bad Tölz since the retreat of the glaciers at the end of the Ice Age. For example, there are finds from the Hallstatt culture as well as from Roman Raetia, or at least occupation by romanized Celts.
The name Tölz (as Tolnze) appears relatively late in documentation at the end of the 12th century. The name Reginried appears as that of a settlement belonging to the monastery at Tegernsee in earlier texts, which is probably the same as Reid in the western part of Mühlfeld.
Hainricus de Tolnze built a castle on the site, which controlled the river and road traffic in the region but which no longer exists. In 1331, Louis IV made Tölz a market town.
The 14th century saw Tölz become a crossroads for the salt and lumber traffic on the Isar. In 1453, the market street, church, and castle were destroyed by fire. Duke Albrecht III enabled the city to rebuild, but this time in stone. He also built a palace which stood until 1770, when it fell into disrepair and was eventually undermined by the Ellbach.
The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) brought plague and destruction to the region. During the War of the Spanish Succession things began to turn around again, with trade in lime and wood products, among other items. During this war, in 1705, the vintner Johann Jäger of Tölz led a band of farmers to battle at Sendling (south of Munich).
The town also became known as a pilgrimage site; every November 6, there is a festival to Saint Leonard of Noblac. In 1718, a chapel was built in his honor on the Calvary hill.
In the middle of the 19th century, Tölz changed direction with the discovery of natural springs. The town began to focus on the healing properties of these springs and became a cure and spa town. In 1899, it became known as Bad Tölz.
In 1937, SS-Junkerschule Bad Tölz was established near the town. The SS-Junkerschulen Junker school (SS Officer Candidate School) operated until the end of World War II in 1945. A subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp was located in the town. It provided labour for the school and the Zentralbauleitung (Central Administration Building). The former SS-Junkerschule was the base of the U.S. Army's 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group until 1991.[2] It was in Bad Tölz that Amon Goeth, commandant of the Nazi concentration camp in Płaszów, in German-occupied Poland during World War II, was arrested and sent for trial in Poland.
Today, Bad Tölz is known for its spas, historic medieval town, and spectacular views of the Alps. On the western bank of the Isar River lies the Kurverwaltung, or modern spa, whose iodine-rich waters are known for their soothing and healing powers. A major attraction was the Alpamare, Europe's first indoor water park with long water slides, wave pool, a surf wave, and a range of thermal outdoor pools with iodine water, until it closed in 2015.[3] Another major attraction is Stadtpfarrkirche, a church built in 1466, which is an excellent example of German late–Gothic architecture.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany: a visit via the German Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse)
Having spent some time in Oberammergau, we now continue on to the next scheduled stop - the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We are still on the scenic German Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse) - a drive that would take us all the way through Bavaria to the end at the Austrian border. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also well-known for the beautiful murals that are on the walls of so many buildings. Again sadly, because we were on a very strict time schedule, we were only able to stop for about 4 hours in this town but were delighted at just how much we were able to see in such a short time,
