Neuschonau: Hans-Eisenmann-Haus, Blick auf den Aussichtsturm des Baumwipfelpfades
Built around glassmaking and forestry, Neuschönau grew into a small Bavarian Forest community beside Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany’s oldest national park, founded in 1970. The settlement is tied to a region where glassworks once provided work in remote woodland clearings. Its landmark attraction is the 1.3-kilometre Tree Top Walk, which rises through the forest canopy to a 44-metre, egg-shaped observation tower. The Bavarian Forest is part of the low mountain country along the Czech border and adjoins Šumava National Park. Neuschönau links protected woodland with a long local tradition of using forest resources and making glass.

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.

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.
