General presentation
Foret bavaroise
Large border forest massif, between national park, trails, wildlife, glass villages and deep nature atmosphere.
To understand what Bavarian Foret is, look at the Bavarian Forest National Park, Großer Arber and Lusen. These places give you a view of a territory marked by forests, mountain reliefs and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: cold weather and winter snow. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Bad Kötzting
Bad Kötzting is a spa town in the Bavarian Forest, also known for its great equestrian procession from Pentecost. Between baths, breweries, colourful houses and paths to the wooded hills, it gives a living entrance in an area often associated with natural parks only.
Nature
Parc national de la Forêt bavaroise
In the Bavarian Forest National Park, the meeting is done by the following steps: clearings, trunks, undergrowth and paths that breathe according to the hour. The place becomes really speaking when you agree to slow down and let the terrain orient your breaks, without wanting to check each stop planned.
Place
Großer Arber
The Großer Arber dominates the Bavarian forest with wooded slopes, rocky blocks and, in clear weather, long views towards Bohemia. The ascent or access to the surroundings of the summit is suitable for travellers who want to feel the passage from the forest to the ridges, with a weather often cooler and changing than in the valley.
Place
Lusen
Lusen is distinguished by the way the landscape guides the look between forest cuts and sudden openings. A careful passage is enough to understand how the paths structure the area, with a richer experience when you choose stopping points at the crossing of the trails.
