Naturpark Bayerischer Wald
Naturpark Bayerischer Wald lies in Bavaria, north of the Danube, reaching towards the border ridge beside the Czech Republic. Its forests form part of Central Europe’s largest contiguous woodland, alongside the Bohemian Forest.
Founded in 1967, the nature park is Bavaria’s oldest and protects landscapes with rare and threatened species. Riparian woodland, oxbow lakes and mixed mountain forests shape its varied habitats. The Pfahl is a weather-resistant quartz formation that runs southeast through the landscape. Its exposed rock creates a warm microclimate for warmth-loving plants and animals.
Highland spruce forests surround raised bogs and shelter species such as the capercaillie. Hiking trails and cycling routes lead through these forests, wetlands and geological features.
