Bad Kötzting is 10 km away. The nearest train station is in Furth im Wald, 10 km away.

The Bavarian Forest is known as Europe’s most beautiful low mountain landscape, remarkable natural park in Germany and impressive magic forest in Bavaria. When speaking of the forest itself, it is usually meant the breathtaking cultural landscape in the east of Bavaria on the border to Bohemia. Endless hiking trails in untouched nature and a wide range of leisure and cultural activities in every season have made the Bavarian Forest one of the famous family holiday regions in Germany.

The winter in the Bavarian Forest is like a wonderland of forest and snow. Next to you a snow-covered tree top, above you the bright blue sky and in front of you nothing but limitless snow fun - this is winter holidays in the Bavarian Forest. Whether on the sledge hill behind the Spiel-KISTE or in one of the three nearby ski areas Hohenbogen, Eck-Riedelstein or ArberLand at Großer Arber, fun with the whole family is guaranteed. In the ski areas, perfectly groomed slopes and cosy places to stop await visitors.

Those who want to take it easy can experience pure wellness while strolling through the area. The fresh, clean air and refreshing nature give strength and new vital energy. A wellness or family holiday in the Bavarian Forest is therefore for many an absolute insider tip.
