This private shore excursion takes you from Passau to the Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany's first national park. The highlight is the treetop walk near Neuschönau, where you stroll through the forest at canopy level.
The Bavarian Forest National Park was founded in 1970 and, together with the neighboring Czech Šumava National Park, protects one of the largest forest areas in Central Europe. Nature is largely left to itself here, and a new wild forest is growing out of the old spruce stands.
Your guide explains how the forest renews itself after storms and bark beetles and walks with you along the treetop path with its striking tree tower. In the wildlife enclosures you may spot lynx, wolves or European bison in natural surroundings.
This private shore excursion is planned around your ship's schedule. Your guide keeps an eye on the clock so you are back on board relaxed and on time.
