Neuschönau occupies a forested foothill setting beneath Lusen in southeastern Bavaria’s Bavarian Forest. It lies beside the Bavarian Forest National Park, founded in 1970 as Germany’s first national park and adjoining the Czech Republic’s Šumava National Park. The park’s policy of allowing much of the woodland to develop with minimal intervention has made forests, bogs and wildlife central to the area’s identity. Near the village, the Baumwipfelpfad Bavarian Forest leads through the canopy to a 44-metre timber tower; the wider region also carries a long glassmaking tradition.
