About location

Among the places of Bavaria, Flossenbürg stands out for the Wurmstein ski lift set amid the wooded Upper Palatinate Forest. Its open slope forms part of the village’s local sports infrastructure, contrasting with the dense woodland that covers much of this border region. Flossenbürg is also known for the ruins of Flossenbürg Castle, which stand on a granite hill, and for the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Memorial. The camp was established in 1938; the memorial documents persecution under National Socialism. Granite quarrying has also long shaped the identity and working history of the community.

The ruins of Flossenbürg Castle rise above the settlement, recalling its medieval past. The town is also home to the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Memorial, on the site of a Nazi concentration camp that operated from 1938 to 1945; its exhibitions document persecution, forced labour and the camp’s victims. This is a small border-town landscape shaped by forest, stone and a significant place of remembrance. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Upper Palatinate Forest.

Bavaria
Region Bavaria

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.

Country Germany

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.
