Along the Bavarian Forest mountain range and its peaks Mt
Falkenstein, Mt Rachel and Mt Lusen, the first German National
Park extends next to the Czech borderline. Together with the
adjacent Šumava National Park, this forms the largest forest
protection area of Central Europe, with a size of more than 900
km². Both parks were classified “Transboundary Parks” in 2009. "Leaving Nature to its own devices" that is the main idea behind. And indeed, nowhere else between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ural Mountains, nature is allowed to develop into a wild forest on such a large scale following its own ancient laws only. More than 300kms of well-signposted and connected hiking trails - despite their subalpine character some even suitable to wheel chairs or buggies, almost 200 kms of cycling paths and approx 80kms of cross-country skiing tracks open up the untouched nature of the Bavarian Forest National Park in summer and in winter. The panoramic view from the peaks reveals the extension of the forests of the Bavarian Bohemian border mountain range. A great number of refreshing mountain streams with cascades and little falls start their way there. Flowerishing plants, like Austrian Leopard’s Bane or Asian Goatsbeard and demanding tree species like European Ash or Norway Maple line their shores. Moraine tracts and the legendary Lake Rachel, are witnesses to the last Ice Age, which terminated here 8,000 years ago. Bogs and moorland provide places to retreat for many skilled survivors of flora and fauna. Three different kinds of forest grow in the National Park: the lowland spruce forest in the humid valleys, where cold air
Today, we have the chance to monitor the emergence of
wilderness in the Bavarian Forest National Park - for the first
time since our ancestors cut down the forest hundreds of
years ago in order to obtain places to live. Adventure trails
open up the “wild forest” to the visitors: on nature-friendly
wooden tracks they lead through hardly accessible forest
areas. The hour of birth of tomorrow’s primeval forests be-
comes a worth seeing spectacle.
In summer 1983, a regional thunderstorm tore out huge holes of the mixed mountain forests at the foot of Mt Rachel. Thousands of cubic metres of spruces, torn off by the wind, piled up to an impenetrable mess. Nature succeeded in turning an apparent chaos into an enchanting forest within a decade - something, nobody would have believed before.
Nearby Spiegelau, on humid grounds of extensive valleys, a natural spruce forest is developing, only having horizontally growing roots which do not provide much stability. Above all, recurring windfalls determine the natural forest development.
Walking over Mt Hochberg and through the virgin like forest at Johannesruhe, you can closely look at the alteration which is accelerated by storms and bark beetles, of an economic to a natural forest full of different structures.
There, where bark beetles seem to have destroyed everything since 1995, nature shows amazing strength. More and more young spruce, rowan or willow trees germinate at the foot of old tree trunks and on rotting wood - a new generation of forest is emerging.
In the area around Mt Falkenstein and Mt Rachel, authentic virgin forests still exist in the wild-romantic
Like single chain links, the pastures queue up in the high altitude areas along Mt Falkenstein and Mt Rachel. In the middle of the 20th century, mainly young cattle was still grazing the Bavarian Forest mountain pastures in summer. Ancient sycamore maples and beech trees give distinction to these „islands“ in the forestal landscape.In the Bavarian Forest, bogs are called „Filze“. The most original and therefore especially precious bogs have preserved in the planations of high altitude areas. A nature-friendly path of round timber connects the characteristic pastures and bogs; it is equipped with information panels and runs above Buchenau.
Höllbachge-spreng and at Zwieslerwaldhaus. A small path, marked as Adventure Trail, leads through the Watzlik-Hain area, passing giant trees with a height of over 50m, 2 m in diameter and 500 years of age.
accumulates, the mixed mountain forest with spruce, fir and beech trees at warm slopes, and above 1200m sea level the mountain spruce forest with its rough climate and long snowy winter periods. They are home to the typical flora and fauna of Central European mountain forests, among which rare species like owls, three-toed and white-backed woodpeckers or the smallest European owl, the pygmy owl as well as
Visitors do not only meet primeval forests in the National Park, which convey the impression of ancient forests in Germany. Out of a sudden and very closely, they have to deal with mixed feelings: Consequently to hot and dry summers in the mid- 90ies, and winters poor with snow, a 3 to 5 mm tiny beetle, the bark beetle, has caused large scale dying of ancient spruce forests, especially in high altitude around Mt Lusen and Mt Rachel. In the shelter of old tree “sceletons” and rotting wood, a new and outstandingly divers generation of trees has been developing into an unlimited forest wilderness; to the visitors’ very amazement!
lynx and black stork are found; not to forget the most distinguish-ing flowers of humid mountain forests, snowbell and Bohemian gentian.
True to the maxim that "nature does not recognize any borders", a cross-border hiking area was established nearby Mauth/Finsterau in the east of the National Park; the area is equipped with bilingual (German/Czech) information panels on forest history. On the Bavarian side, the main focus is put on the hard labour lumberjacks used to perform, furthermore on skillfully built boardwalks, ancient sledge tracks and the sophisticated system of water supply flumes, prepared log rafting waterways and logging dams. On the Bohemian side, the history of people who used to live there and the alteration of landscape due to historical occurances are principal subjects.
Hans-Eisenmann-HausThe oldest information centre of a German Natio-nal Park, the Hans-Eisen-mann-Haus, has been made fit for the future with a total renovation of its exhibitions. In addition to traditionally proven parts, i.e. the information desk
At the Spiegelau Forest Playgrounds, everybody, from the toddler to the grown-ups: Slides and swings, different sorts of games. A generous meadow provides space for ball games or a BBQ. Expanses of water - a little stream and a pond - are integrated. A special attraction is the Nature Adventure Trail. It brings about the wonderful world of a forest in a playfull way. On the exciting trip, you will meet a meeting-tree, a fairy cottage, a barefoot path, a wooden xylophone and humming stones.
In the Wilderness Camp at Mt Falkenstein at Zwieslerwaldhaus and in the Forest Youth Residence at Schönbrunn, youth groups and school classes can experience the fascinating wilderness in more-day stays.

Wildlife Enclosure In the spacious enclosures and large aviaries of the Wildlife Enclosure, 30 species of animals, endemic to the mountain forest, live in their natural environment. This group comprises wolves and bears, extinct for 150 years, lynx and black storks who re-settled, wisents, red deer, wild boars and European otters, but also birds such as owls, ural owls, common ravens and capercaillies. Photographers will find precious opportunities. Abundantly illustrated text panels inform on the animals’ living habits, particularities and ways of behaviour. From Christmas to the beginning of april, there are guided tours on different subjects.

Haus zur WildnisWe will not bring wilderness inside, you have to discover it yourself outside. The Haus zur Wildnis is intended to arouse interest in and to create understanding for dynamic processes in nature. Displaying details is expected to make visitors feel like exploring nature on their own: To discover that wilderness is not only in remote countries, but also “just around the corner“ in the Bavarian and Bohemian Forests. You only have to wish to see it, this gorgeous wilderness full of mystery. We want to quicken your “appetite” for wild nature in the Bavarian Forest and the Šumava National Park. Just wait and see the exhibition! Go on a journey through wilderness watching a 3D film in the cinema. Discover hidden wilderness in the “Wurzelgang”, an adventurous trip through forest soil. Or be amazed at the “constructors of wilderness”: Wind fall, snow debris and bark beetles. Chil-dren can explore occult natural wonders in the Adventure Room.And there is still more to see in the Haus zur Wildnis ...
Stone Age CaveOn your trip through time, from Prehistory to the present, we would like you to pay attention to a very special facility: The Stone Age Cave. The Horse Panel from the famous Chauvet Cave in Southern France, reconstructed on an artificial rock setting, is thought to be a reminder that Paleolithic people used to live together in harmony with these animals. This painting of naturalistically drawn wild animals demonstrates not only the extraordinary power of observation the „old masters“ had, but also of their effort to cast a spell on their prey with cryptic signs.
What was it like, supposedly, when our ancestors could meet a pristine fauna of huge animals who were roaming the Bavarian Forest during the Ice Age period? It is certain that then wild horses, aurochses and reindeer but not people gave distinction to the scenery.
Illustrated panels and 3D animations additionally display alteration of climate, landscape and fauna of the last Ice Age and beginning Postglacial period, and demonstrate how people reacted to these environmental and climatic changes inventing innovative hunting techniques.
Animal EnclosuresA comfortable, two-and-a-half-km-long trail leads through the generously designed animal enclosures to the Haus zur Wildnis. Observe the lynx family, the howling wolf pack or the peacefully grazing Przewalski’s horses and Heck cattle in the 3 open-air enclosures designed in harmony with nature. A roofed bridge made of round timber and a filigree tower open up spectacular angles to monitor the animals and to enjoy the famous view on the sheer endless forested landscape between Mt Arber and Mt Falkenstein. Apart from a short period, lynx and wolves have always ranked among the natural array of species of the Bavarian Forest. Presenting Przewalski’s horses and Heck cattle, we open a window to the past; then, these species were native to our region.
and the National Park shop, there are many new features, like the „Access to Nature“; that is the name of the exhibition in which “a story of people and forests” is told; the exhibition also demonstrates that in a forest people and nature are closely connected and are depending of each other. Discover never expected views onto the Bavarian Forest National Park – in a playful way, with the whole family. A children's trail opens up a new and exciting approach to the forest for young visitors. The barrier-free realization of the exhibition makes visitors indulge without any limits. Czech and English speaking guests can make use of new media accompanying the exhibition with the respective translations. Another new highlight is the media lounge where you can browse to your heart's delight, relax while listening to an audio book or surf the web. Don't hesitate to visit us and have a look yourself!
Tree Top WalkFrom the carpark, you can access the longest tree top walk in the word through an entrance tower, which also enables senior citizens, disabled and parents with buggies to have a comfortable and plea-sant stay. The 1300m-long path reaches its peak on the platform of the tower with an all impressive view from 44m height.

Geological-Botanical Open-air Exhibition More than 700 species of the Bavarian Forest fauna, classified according to their habitats, are presented - from the colourful world of meadow flowers to the “weeds”, passing by plants humid stream valleys and particular places like bogs, moors, springs, marges or stone runs. Expecially attractive is a visit from May to October. Embedded in the exhibition, you will find an information pavillon and a stone garden, where the geological conditions are discribed and the ancient stones of the Bavarian Forest are presented.

In the Bavarian Forest, people live assimilated to their country with its rough climate. A proper dialect, own traditions and customs, legends and fairy tales, music - an individual culture emerged.
The Forest History Museum Zwiesel, the Frauenau Glass Museum, the Landscape History Museum St. Oswald with its entirely new exposition area in a unique media-based way of presentation, the Museum of Hunt and Fishery, Wolfstein Castle in Freyung and the Finsterau Open-air Museum tell the story of this country and its people.
The National Parks combine into the heart of „Europe‘s Green Roof“. Where the „Iron Curtain“ used to embody an insurmountable borderline, today, both national parks are linked by hiking and cycling trails.
The Sumava National Park comprises a territory of about 69,000ha. Destinations worth a visit are for example: the riparian zones at the Vltava river, the extensive bog areas around Modrava, Mt Polednik with its lookout tower on top or the park-like scenery nearby Bucina and Knizecí Plane.
