Sparkling ice crystals, clear air and snow-covered mountain peaks - in winter, the wild nature in the Bavarian Forest National Park presents itself in a particularly primal and peaceful way.
On these selected winter hikes, which all run on cleared or rolled winter hiking trails, the national park nature can be explored best.
When planning your tours, remember that in winter you usually have to expect longer walking times than indicated.So that nothing stands in the way of unclouded winter enjoyment for humans and nature, it is particularly important that you always stay on the marked paths. This serves to protect endangered animal and plant species, such as the capercaillie. In addition, you should pack enough provisions and drinks, as the mountain huts are only open to a limited extent in winter.You can find more tips for visiting the national park in winter in our blog article: nationalpark-bayerischer-wald.bayern.de/aktuelles/blog/detailansicht.htm?ID=A%2Bs3RgSTi2Ru8%2FgIVlRvhQ%3D%3DPlease note when hiking in the national park:
- Always ensure good equipment: map, sturdy footwear, drink, first aid kit, bad weather clothing and mobile phone not forgotten. This serves your own safety.
- Please be aware of dangers from falling trees and deadwood. Use of the paths is at your own risk. Please leave the forest for your own protection in strong winds.
- Please do not leave any rubbish in the area! Dog poop bags or tissues have no place in nature. Help us keep our wild forest clean. Thank you!An overview of the rules of conduct and information on the marking system in the national park can be found at nationalpark-bayerischer-wald.bayern.de/besucher/verhaltenstipps/index.htm
