Discover the forest - Bayerische Staatsforsten

“The little woodland gnomes” is what the two sets
of seven dwarves call themselves. The Bamberg
forest kindergarten offers life that takes place
almost exclusively in the forest. The hut and the
caravan are only for snacks, drawing and painting,
or for when it’s raining. The rest is all forest.

As we all know, Bavaria is a little different.
The Free State has its own constitution –
and, with Article 141, even includes its own
“Mushroom Clause”: Everyone should
have the right “to enjoy the beauty of nature”
and “acquire wild fruits of the forest”.
We have a social duty to shape the forest in
such a way that hikers, cyclists or
mushroom hunters can also use it actively.
It is a pleasure for us to do so.

Around 300 years ago the seed of a wych
elm settled 1200 m above sea level close to
what is now the Brandlalm in the Karwendel
mountains. Today, the tree stands proudly on
the slope – and is an amazing piece of history.

Adventure trails, look-out towers, game
observation reserves, forest playgrounds plus
over 90 cultural heritage sites, listed chapels,
castle ruins and hunting lodges: The forest
is the biggest outdoor museum in Bavaria and
the choice of places to go on excursions is
huge. You can find a selection here:

FICHTELGEBIRGE
How can you make a Sunday outing enticing for
your children? By pulling their leg. You tell them,
for example, that there is a house on the Große
Waldstein which has been used to catch bears
since the Middle Ages. And the best thing is:
It’s a true story. Although the last time a predator
was caught here was apparently in 1760.

Completely new sounds were to be heard in
the forest near Kelheim on lots of small
stages in the middle of the forest at the first
music festival held by the Bavarian State
Forest Enterprise. The programme was
organised by the Bavarian jazz institute in
Regensburg, and more than 1500 people
came to listen – despite the bad weather.

In the Veldenstein forest there
is an animal reserve that is
40 hectares large. It started
with red deer and roe deer
and as the years went by
fallow deer, wild boar, mouflon
and sika deer came along too.
Now, almost all game species
of the state forest live here.
There are a particularly large
numbers of young ones to
be seen in the spring!

In the Middle Ages there were stories of large
waves on the Fichtelsee that apparently
reached right up to the Ochsenkopf – probably
a Bavarian cock-and-bull story. Today’s
reservoir is almost 11 hectares large, lies in a
nature reserve in the Fichtelgebirge and is
used as a natural outdoor pool for swimming,
boating and walking.

SCHÖNRAIN RUINS
The centuries whistle through all the cracks in this
thousand-year old monastery in Spessart. Monks, pillages,
lootings, a knight who took his “shield and helmet with
him to the grave”: Here you can meet the ghosts of the past.
Or you can search for the passageways which have still
not been found – and which supposedly exist. One of them
is even said to lead all the way down to the river Main.
