I'm planning to ride my bike to Bad Tölz to see pootle. I wanted to ride from Munich and maybe take the train back, 60 kilometers from here to there. I have a mountain bike so can't / won't do more than average 16-20kph, and I'm not that fit anyway. If you want to go faster or further, check out marka's offer.

is it really 60km?
Gen
my bike book says Munich- Wolfratshausen is 33 and Wolfratshausen to Bad Tölz and Lenggries is 48, so that's 81, minus the loop to Lenggries which I estimate at 20, and it's 60. Did you think it'd be longer or shorter and where do you get your route estimates?

I thought it would be a bit shorter but only based on driving there a few times. I based it on Garmisch being about 90 and I thought it was considerably closer than that. maporama says 45 and multimap says 60. Depends a bit where you start I guess and which route you take. Whatever the distance, its a nice road

I'd take my bike U1 to Mangfallplatz then through Perlacher Forst to Tölz.

It's not worth the hassle to me to ride the UBahn to Mangfallplatz though, I can ride there in the same time for free, and the Perlacher Forst's not that big anyway. The route I'll take goes on the Isarradweg to Wolfratshausen, then branches off a bit to the west of the river through Königsdorf. If the Isarradweg turns out to go through right to Tölz anyhow I might just stick to it. Looking at this map, they've extended it since I bought my bike guide, so I guess I may just stick to the river. Makes finding the way home easy too.

Stop off in Königsdorf for food. The Gasthof zur Post there is excellent. We were there last week.

You can also take the S7 to Wolfratshausen, and then a bus to Geretsried and bike on from there ... or take the train from Hauptbahnhof to Kochel (change at Tutzing) - get off at Benediktbeuern or Bichl.

Or the S-bahn to Sauerlach ...

I much prefer to ride all the way to the place and take the train all the way back, which I did. 64.5 kilometers, 4.5 hours. Lots of the Isarradweg is closed (flood damage) and you can't even roll on it, just push your bike through all the gravel, so I ended up going a different route to Wolfratshausen and then through Ascholding and Dietramszell to Tölz. Dietramszell has the only phone booth between here and there and it only takes cards, and being a small village, there was no place open to buy a card. So I'm going to get a cell phone at long last. It was a gorgeous ride though, just fabulous. Except for the last 10 kilometers which were really damn hilly and my knees hurt by then.
