Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Blombergbahn Bad Tolz, Am Blomberg 2, 83646, Wackersberg, Bavaria Germany
After leaving lake Chiemsee you’ll reach after a less than an hours drive the charming Spa Town Bad Tölz, at Isar river. Once it provided Munich with lumber and beer.

Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Schloss Linderhof, Linderhof 12, 82488 Ettal, Bavaria Germany

Stop At: Passionstheater, Passionswiese 1, 82487 Oberammergau, Germany
Shortly after visiting Linderhof we reach Oberammergau, where your guide can give you a 15 min. tour, especially for explaining the famous wallpaintings and the Passion play theatre. Little shops offer local souvenirs. The regional speciality are wood carvings.
If you want to see (and understand) another baroque masterpiece concerning church decorations, inserted in a 12-page domed room from the 14th century, you should follow your guide in the Ettal Benedictine monastery, just 5 minutes’ drive away from Oberammergau.
From there it will take another hour back to Munich and your guide brings you safe through the rushhour back to your hotel or your address in Munich.
Travellers usually don’t spend more time in Oberammergau/Ettal than 1 hour.
