The Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany
The Bavarian Forest National Park, also known as Bayerischer Wald in German, is located on Germany's southeastern border with the Czech Republic. The protected forest joins the Sumava National Park in the Czech Republic to form Central Europe's biggest protected continuous forest. The Bavarian Forest on the German side is 93.50 square miles (242.2 square kilometers) in size and was created as Germany's first national park. Spruce trees, European silver fir, European beech, Norway spruce, mixed mountain forest, highland forests, and water meadow spruce woods make up the forest.
The national park is situated between the Danube River and the Bohemian Forest in the hills. The scenery is mostly composed of small granite and gneiss hills that are covered and surrounded by lush vegetation. The Bavarian Forest national park has three important peaks, the tallest of which is GroBer Rachel at 4,767 feet (1,453 m). Lusen at 4,505 feet (1,373 m) and GroBer Falkenstein at 4,281 feet (1,305 m) are the other two summits. Popular creatures in the Bavarian Forest National Park include the lynx, bear, and wolf, who are the forest's principal predators. Deer, European bison, beaver, and otters are among the other mammalian species.
On 320 kilometers of well-marked hiking routes, you can experience unspoiled nature firsthand. The Great Arber and the Great Rachel are two of the region's most popular summit climbs. Frauenau is a tiny village located practically immediately in the Bavarian Forest. In the winter, you may assist locals on their tiny farm and care for small hedgehogs at the hedgehog rescue center. This is the ideal location for reconnecting with nature.
