Stadtmuseum Bad Tölz im Mühltor

Housed in the historic Mühltor gate, the Stadtmuseum Bad Tölz traces the town’s evolution from medieval trading post to Alpine spa resort. Compact yet well curated, it features regional crafts, Tölz market traditions, and folkloric costumes, alongside exhibits on rafting, salt and river commerce, and local artists. Highlights include finely carved woodwork, period interiors, and views into the town’s civic past. Labels are informative (mostly German), and the setting itself—thick walls, beams, and gate architecture—adds context. A worthwhile stop for travelers interested in Upper Bavarian culture and the everyday life behind Bad Tölz’s postcard façades.
