Bavarian Forest National Park

Germany's oldest national park

Important NOTE

Since there is no nationwide cell phone connection in the Bavarian Forest National Park, the app was created for offline mode. Downloading the 3D map leads to an increased amount of data. We therefore recommend downloading one or both parts of the National Park map via WiFi.

A new tool for the current route status immediately shows the visitor which routes and tours are accessible or where there are closures or restrictions.
