Weg
The official Munich to Venice route starts at the Deutsches Museum.
Upon arriving at the Deutsches Museum, you will begin to see the signage for your route. Follow the signage to the south along the Isar River on the east side of the river, keeping your eyes open for the signage that indicates crossing a bridge to the west bank of the river. Just a short distance later, the trail crosses back over the river on the large, and very noticeable, Grosser Hesselöher Bridge. You will need to ascend to get onto the bridge. If you miss the turnoff for the bridge, back-track, as the quality of trail along this side of the river degrades quickly.
The Munich to Venice route splits shortly after crossing over the bridge. The east route goes around the Tegernsee (lake). In order to avoid the crowds on that route, we take the western route down through the charming village of Bad Tölz. This route continues straight to the south (the right fork). If you find yourself next to railroad tracks, you have taken the wrong route.
Continue south through Grünwald, and then toward Wolfratshausen (although you do not go into the city center), past Geretsried, and finally to Bad Tölz.
You'll come into Bad Tölz along the river. This stage ends at the bridge. Refer to your Personal eGuidebook for directions to your accommodations.
