The landscape around Bodenmais is defined by the wooded slopes of the Bavarian Forest, which have shaped both the settlement’s compact valley form and its long association with mining and forest trades. At the foot of Silberberg, the former silver mine recalls an industry that influenced the town for centuries; its tunnels are now open as a visitor mine. Bodenmais is also a recognised climatic health resort and a practical base for walking country beneath the Großer Arber, the highest summit in the Bavarian Forest. Local glassmaking remains visible in workshops and retailers, a regional craft with deep roots. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Bodenmais and the Bavarian Forest.
