Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen

Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district spans 1,111 square kilometers between Munich and the Austrian border, featuring mountains, valleys, and three major lakes: Walchensee, Kochelsee, and Sylvensteinsee.

The district emerged on July 1, 1972, through the administrative merger of two separate districts: Bad Tölz and Wolfratshausen, reflecting Bavaria's territorial reorganization.

The district coat of arms incorporates elements of medieval Wolfratshausen, Bavarian checkered patterns, and symbols from Benediktbeuern Abbey, representing regional heritage.

The district headquarters operates in Bad Tölz, while vehicle registration plates display TÖL or WOR codes to identify local vehicles within the region.

The Isar River transforms from a mountain stream to a broad pre-alpine current as it flows through the district, creating diverse ecological zones.
