Bad Tölz is a town in Bavaria, on the southern part of Germany. It is located within the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, in the administrative region of Upper Bavaria.

The town is on the banks of the Isar River, about 670 m (2,159 ft) above sea level. Today Bad Tölz is well known for its spas. Another local interest of the town is its position as a pilgrimage site to St Leonard of Noblac, and a festival is held here on his feast day, 6 November.

Archaeologists have found evidence of human presence in the Bad Tölz area going back to the Ice Age. The name Tölz first came into use in the 12th century. It only came to be called Bad Tölz in 1899, in recognition of the natural springs in the area.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
