In the Bavarian forests — from the Fichtelgebirge, over the Bavarian Forest to the edge of the Alps — you will find an unspoilt nature that can only be discovered in a few German forests. We have selected six hikes for you, which will take you on quiet forest paths to exciting places and — above all — to yourself. While you walk along ancient trees, through lonely gorges, ascend to peaks or visit glittering lakes, you leave your everyday life behind and find yourself in the here and now.
