Bavarian Forest: Background and Basics

The Bavarian Forest has a continental climate with long, snowy winters which provide the perfect environment for indigenous species like eagle owls, ravens, otters, hazel grouse and three-toed woodpeckers. Many of these animals can be seen in the wildlife enclosure near Neuschönau. The Bavarian Forest National Park, founded in 1970, is the oldest and largest national park in Germany. This area together with the Upper Bavarian Forest Natural Park, the Czech Šumava National Park and the surrounding protected land, form the largest unbroken area of protected forest in Central Europe. Lake Rachelsee is the national park's only glacial lake. Holiday rentals can be booked in advance here.
