HIKING BLISS IN BODENMAIS
Endless forests, beautiful peaks, tranquil mountain lakes and breathtaking views - this is the largest forest landscape in Central Europe: the Bavarian Forest. And right in the middle of it all, at the foot of the Silberberg, lies Bodenmais. The incomparable nature begins right on the edge of the town. Bodenmais is the starting point for exciting hikes. Just a stone's throw from the town center, in the wildly romantic Rißloch Gorge, the Rißloch waterfalls - the highest in the Bavarian Forest - plunge into the depths. Just around the corner, the Hochfall roars. Bodenmais' local mountain, the Silberberg, towers above the village and offers breathtaking views from its summit. The large and small Arbersee lakes are mystical and mysterious. And the king of the Bavarian Forest, the 1456-metre-high Großer Arber, watches over everything. There is sure to be a suitable hike for everyone.
