The Bavarian Forest, stretching from Cham to the Passau region, is an area to experience and enjoy. In particular, the Bavarian Forest National Park, established 40 years ago, offers numerous hiking opportunities; in its wildlife protection areas, even the elusive lynx has been reintroduced. The Rother hiking guide 'Bavarian Forest' presents the most beautiful tours in the Cham, Bodenmais, Zwiesel, Freyung, and Passau areas. The mountains here rise over 1000 meters and provide stunning panoramic views. The king of the Bavarian Forest is the Grosser Arber, standing at nearly 1500 meters. The Dreisesselberg with its Stone Sea, the Osser peaks, and the Pfahl are also true highlights for hikers. A special attraction is the treetop path, which offers a new perspective on the Bavarian Forest at a height of 44 meters. The author, Eva Krötz, who has lived in the Bavarian Forest for years, shares her experiences with readers.
