Kurmittelhaus der Moderne Bad Tölz

Kurmittelhaus der Moderne Bad Tölz is the historic spa therapy centre of Bad Tölz, a renowned Bavarian spa town on the Isar River at the foot of the Bavarian Alps in Upper Bavaria, celebrated for its extraordinary Jod-Sole (iodine brine) springs that have made the town internationally known as a bathing destination since the 19th century. The Kurmittelhaus — built in the Bauhaus modernist style in 1936 — is a significant piece of German therapeutic architecture that houses the facilities drawing on Bad Tölz's exceptional iodine brine. The historic Marktstraße with its painted facades, the baroque pilgrimage church on the Kalvarienberg, and the pastoral foothills setting between Munich and the Alps make Bad Tölz one of the most atmospheric traditional Bavarian spa towns. The annual Leonhardi procession in November, one of Bavaria's most spectacular folk festivals, adds a uniquely festive cultural dimension to visits in the autumn.
