Nature and Landscape

The landscape of the national park comprises naturally developing forests; rivers and streams follow their own course there.

The eastern part of the Bavarian Forest was designated Germany’s first nature reserve in 1970 and is connected with Bavarian Forest National Park.

Activities

More than 200 kilometres of marked hiking trails run through the national park from the valleys to the summits of Rachel and Lusen. This is well suited to a trip focused on marked trails and summit destinations.

The wildlife enclosure in the national park offers several-hour forest walks between large enclosures and aviaries; visitors can observe native animals there.

Culture

Glassblowing is regarded as a traditional craft in the region. The 99-kilometre Gläserner Steig trail is associated with glassworks, a glass museum, the Spiegelhütte glassworks and Gläserne Gärten.
