The wolf is back in Bavaria - in 2017 the first returnee appeared in the Veldenstein Forest. The following year, the first puppies were photographed there with a camera trap. Since then there have been offspring in the Veldenstein Forest every year. While the wolf has been extinct in our country for over 100 years since it was exterminated by humans, today we have to learn to live with the presence of this strictly protected wild animal again.
