Together they form part of the largest wooded area in central Europe, often referred to as “the Green Roof of Europe”. The area is criss-crossed with numerous walking, mountain-biking and cycling trails, and in winter is an excellent place to ski, with both downhill and cross-country skiing well catered for.

This is an area of outstanding natural beauty, situated in the South East of Bavaria, Germany, on the border with the Czech Republic, close to Austria and the River Danube. The Guesthouse is located halfway between Munich and Prague, which along with Salzburg, Regensburg, Nuremberg and Passau, are less than 3 hours drive away.

The area is renowned for its glassmaking, natural beauty, many festivals and schnapps. (A potent brew. - the local version, “Bärwürz” is made from a root that grows only on Grosser Arber).

"A super location, very comfortable and wonderfully helpful hosts. Many, many thanks for all your time and support with our "challenges".
