Neureichenau: Bayerischer Wald - Dreisesselberg, Blick auf Gipfel Dreisesselberg
Neureichenau extends across the wooded ridge country of Bavaria’s Bavarian Forest, and its position near the Czech and Austrian frontiers has shaped it as a borderland upland community. The municipality includes Dreisesselberg, a granite-topped mountain near the three-country meeting point. Dense conifer woodland, rounded highlands and clearings with scattered farms define this section of the Bohemian Massif. The Dreisessel massif takes its name from weathered granite formations locally compared to three seats. Neureichenau belongs to the Bavarian Forest holiday region, with paths connecting the German side of the ridge to routes across the borders. Settlement and livelihoods in the wider region were long associated with forestry and glassmaking.

Few communities in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to forest glassmaking as Neureichenau. Set in the southern Bavarian Forest, near Germany’s borders with Austria and the Czech Republic, the municipality is shaped by wooded uplands rather than an urban centre. The Dreisesselberg, a granite mountain close to the three-country frontier, is a prominent local landmark and a longstanding destination for walkers. Neureichenau’s glassmaking past belongs to a wider Bavarian Forest tradition, in which woodland supplied fuel and raw materials to local works. Dispersed villages, trails and the borderland setting give the area a distinctly rural character.

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.
