The Bavarian Forest National Park, with its unique nature
and its visitor attractions, offers many opportunities for
recreation and experiencing nature. Hundreds of thousands of
visitors come to the national park every year. Providing
assistance for these guests is a considerable task for the national
park administration.
As well as information about the objectives and purpose of
the Bavarian Forest National Park, visitors are also provided
with information with which to plan their stay in the national
park. Visitors should be aware of the various opportunities to
experience nature, special features and also possible dangers in

the national park. In addition, information is also provided on
the educational and recreational facilities around the national
park (and nature park). Visitors can find the information at the
national park centres and information points, in the form of
personal advice, flyers, books, exhibitions, films and information
boards. The National Park Ranger Service has an important
role in assisting visitors in the field.
The safety of national park visitors, including care for them
in emergencies, is covered by appropriate actions (traffic
calming, the presence of the National Park Ranger Service at
well-frequented visitor locations, procedures for raising the
alarm and rescue.).
