The Bohemian Forest is one of the oldest mountain ranges in Central Europe. Erosion has transformed the once karstic rock formations into gentle hills, making the region with its unique landscape ideal for hikers, nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. In Germany , the Bohemian Forest is also known as the Bavarian Forest, while in the Czech Republic it is known as Šumava . Thanks to the cooperation between Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic, it is possible to cross the border for tourists at seven points. This means that visitors can seamlessly experience hiking, cycling or cross-country skiing in the border triangle.
In addition to the numerous leisure opportunities, the region offers hospitable restaurants and beautiful hotels, which can be booked right here on our website. A trip to the neighboring village of Klaffer am Hochficht is also worthwhile. There, Austria's largest natural herb garden invites you to take relaxing walks. From the Moldaublick, you can look out over the Vltava reservoir in the Czech Republic, while a second viewing tower offers a view as far as Bavaria.
Every year in May, Ulrichsberg also becomes the center of jazz. Jazz musicians from Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and other countries come together at the Ulrichsberg Kaleidophone to delight the audience with their music.
