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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
