In the Bavarian Forest You Can Find Bears - Not Only in Springtime

Are you looking for special family vacations in the wild nature of the Bavarian Forest? Then the National Park region of the Bavarian Forest, also known as the Bear Region, is the ideal holiday destination for you. Awesome holidays are guaranteed by the "Bear Towns" Grafenau and Neuschönau. Because there is a bear in its coat of arms, the health resort town Grafenau is regarded as the "Bear Capital" of the Bavarian Forest. In Grafenau there is summer toboggan run and a public wave pool.

Very close nearby is Neuschönau, the "Bear Resort". An animal outdoor enclosure gives home not only to bears, but also to wolves, lynx, and other fair game. In Neuschönau you will also find the longest treetop trail in the world where you cannot only hike in dizzying heights but also learn a lot about the nature of the Bavarian Forest.
