Winter walking in one of Germany's most unspoilt corners

GERMANY, BAVARIA
Lynx, Wolf & Snowy Wilderness - BFW1

For lovers of winter walking, snowshoeing and nature, paradise lies in the Bavarian Forest; a place where the locals greet you with open arms and where the scenery is magical. Low-sweeping mountains are covered with snow-clad, untouched primeval forests that stretch for miles; the National Parks are filled with wildlife, and fine open ridges offer grand views over white meadows.

Discover a different world. The Bavarian Forest, an area of great natural beauty and a little-known, deeply traditional region, is situated close to the Danube valley in southeast Germany. It knows no man-made boundaries and spreads across the Czech Republic and Austria into much of western and southern Bohemia, forming Central Europe's largest woodland area.

Enjoy scenic winter walking paths and endless miles of well-prepared cross-country skiing trails. Get up close and personal with wolf, lynx and wild boar during a walk in the magnificent Bavarian Forest National Park. Whether it's leisurely winter walking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, horse-drawn sleigh rides or drinking mulled wine in rustic country inns in idyllic villages, the Bavarian Forest offers everything you could wish for in a perfect winter holiday.
