### 1. Forest bathing in the silent primeval forest – togetherness among ancient trees

In the national park, the forest is allowed to be a forest again – with fallen giants, moss-covered trunks and a sense of pristine wilderness. Perfect for switching off your mind together while forest bathing and simply breathing.

Choose one of the quiet circular trails near Eppenschlag or in the neighbouring nature reserve, find a peaceful path, walk slowly and listen to the rustling leaves and the calls of the birds. Consciously take in the scent of resin and earth, pause now and then, sit down on a tree trunk – and enjoy the feeling of being completely in the moment.

After one or two hours in this decelerated atmosphere, you will feel inwardly realigned. Back in your holiday apartment, you can round off the day with a glass of wine and let the impressions sink in.

### 2. Secluded viewpoints with Alpine views – sunrise for early birds

On clear days, the Bavarian Forest rewards you with a special gift: views as far as the Alps. Many of the well-known peaks are busy – but there are also less frequented viewpoints where, with a bit of luck, it will be just the two of you enjoying the panorama.

Plan an easy to moderate hike in the early morning hours, pack a thermos and a small breakfast and look for a rocky viewpoint or a quiet clearing overlooking the rolling hills. While mist still lingers in the valleys, the rising sun paints the sky in soft pastel colours – a moment you will not forget anytime soon.

Back at your accommodation, a hot shower or a cosy breakfast is waiting – perfect if you want to start your day with an intense shared nature experience.

### 3. Enchanted streams and moor trails – little explorer tours in summer

Beyond the big hiking classics, the national park and the holiday region around Eppenschlag hide many small paths along streams, ponds and moorlands. These routes are ideal for half-day trips, where you can slip into your very own little world without any time pressure.

Along wooden boardwalks through a moor, over roots and stones beside a babbling brook, with small wooden bridges, benches and quiet spots to sit – that is what a summer’s day feels like that truly feels like a holiday, without having to cover many kilometres.

When you return to your holiday apartment later in the afternoon, you can stretch out your tired legs on the balcony or terrace, look through your photos and perhaps already plan the next tour.

### 4. Snowshoeing in winter – leaving tracks in untouched white

In winter, the national park transforms into a quiet, white fairy-tale landscape. Especially for couples, snowshoeing is a wonderful way to wander through the deep snow-covered forest at your own pace, far from the slopes – step by step, accompanied only by the crunch of the snow.

Many tours start in the holiday region around the national park; some routes are marked as winter hiking trails, others you can discover on guided tours. You follow gentle climbs, cross snow-covered clearings and may end up standing at a viewpoint where you can hear only your own breath and the silence.

Back in your holiday apartment, warmth awaits: a hot tea, a long shower or bath and a cosy evening on the sofa – the perfect contrast to the fresh winter’s day outside.

### 5. Starry nights and romantic evenings in the Bavarian Forest

Thanks to the relatively low light pollution, you can often experience an impressively clear starry sky in the Bavarian Forest. Especially on cloudless nights in late summer or in winter, when the air is particularly clear, it is worth heading outside once more late in the evening.

Find a dark corner near your accommodation or a short, familiar path into the open, take a blanket and perhaps a thermos with you. Looking up at the sky together, counting shooting stars and feeling the silence of the forest – these are the moments you will remember for a long time.

And the best part: Your holiday apartment is so conveniently located that after just a few steps you are “home away from home” again – without long drives, but with maximum privacy and peace.
