Bodenmais: Bayerischer Wald - Glashütte
Bodenmais sits at the heart of the Bavarian Forest in Bavaria, Germany, where a compact resort town is enclosed by wooded hills. Its development was closely tied to mining on Silberberg, whose former silver mine now introduces visitors to the area’s industrial past. Glassmaking is another longstanding tradition of the wider Bavarian Forest. Bodenmais serves as a base for walks and cycle rides through the surrounding uplands, while the Arber massif gives this part of Bavaria a distinctly mountainous profile. In town, everyday local life meets guesthouses and visitor services shaped by a long tradition of health and outdoor tourism.

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.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
