Philippsreut

Established as a forest-clearing settlement, Philippsreut grew into a small border municipality in Bavaria’s Bavarian Forest. It stands close to the Czech frontier, in a high, wooded area shaped by long winters and routes through the Bohemian Forest uplands. The community was founded in 1692 and named for Philipp von Lamberg, Prince-Bishop of Passau. Its districts include Mitterfirmiansreut, below the 1,139-metre Almberg, a local centre for winter sports.
