Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen

Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen is a rural district in Upper Bavaria that stretches between Munich and the Austrian border. The region contains mountain terrain, valleys, and several substantial lakes that shape its landscape.

This district formed in 1972 through the administrative merger of two former districts with the same names. This territorial reorganization was part of a larger statewide restructuring of Bavaria.

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

The district headquarters in Bad Tölz serves as the main center for administrative matters and information. Vehicle registration plates use TÖL or WOR codes to identify vehicles registered within this region.

The Isar River flows through the district and changes dramatically from a mountain stream into a broad river. This transformation creates different habitats and landscape types along its path.
