Knowledge that Sharpens the Perspective
The Hirschwald Nature Park, with nearly 28,000 hectares, is one of Bavaria's large contiguous forest landscapes and was designated as the 17th Bavarian Nature Park in 2006. This diversity also characterizes the guided tour: forests, hedges, meadows, and traditional fruit areas form a sensitive mosaic of habitats, which the ranger vividly conveys with detailed background information.
