Bayerisch Eisenstein: Hohenzollern Skistadion
Tucked into the Bavarian Forest near Germany’s border with Czechia, Hohenzollern Skistadion is a place whose character is shaped by Nordic ski sport. The facility at Bayerisch Eisenstein brings together a paved roller-ski circuit and infrastructure for cross-country skiing and biathlon, with wooded terrain defining its setting. It lies close to the Großer Arber massif, one of the Bavarian Forest’s best-known mountain areas. Bayerisch Eisenstein is also known for its railway station shared with neighbouring Železná Ruda-Alžbětín in Czechia, a single building that reflects the enduring cross-border connections of this part of Central Europe.

Built around ironworking in the Bavarian Forest, Bayerisch Eisenstein grew into a German border municipality beside the Czech town of Železná Ruda. The Große Regen runs through the valley below Großer Arber, the Bavarian Forest’s highest peak. The settlement lies near Bavarian Forest National Park and the Šumava landscape across the border, with forests and marked routes extending in both directions. Its railway station is an unusual landmark, divided by the German–Czech frontier and long used by both countries. Rail connections and cross-border paths make the town a practical starting point for the mountain borderlands.

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.
