  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The next bigger towns are Passau and Regensburg, both have a beautiful medieval old center. About 1 hour travel by train or car.
    Munich is 2 hours away.
    We live near the Czech Republic border, not far from Pilsen or medieval Klattau. Prague is 2 hours away.
    You can get to the next village easily by walking (10 minutes) or by us (we have two cars) or by bus. We also have several bicycles. The next town and railwaystation is 9 km away.

    The National Park Bavarian Forest is next to us (4 km), For further information and all possible activities concerning the BAVARIAN FOREST you will find a lot on the internet. Look for "Bavarian Forest National Park".

    "Let nature be nature!“ is the philosophy of the Bavarian Forest National Park. Nowhere else between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ural Mountains is such a large area of forests and moors allowed to grow and develop without the interference of man, into a unique landscape of primeval forest, a true “wilderness”.
