Bavarian Forest National Park
Highland spruce forests, bogs and three ridge-top peaks on Germany's Czech border
The park follows the main ridge of the Bavarian Forest from the Großer Falkenstein past the Großer Rachel to the Lusen, and joins the Czech Šumava National Park across the border. Left to run its own course, its woodland includes areas killed by bark beetle.
