26 NATIONAL PARK PLAN 2010 Through the German-Czech Youth Forum, young people gain direct experience of nature in the Bavarian Forest – Šumava National Park region and the wilderness becomes a familiar environment (Photo: Hans Kiener) 5.4. Promotion of transboundary co-operation The Bavarian Forest and Šumava National Parks have a unique opportunity to create a cross border bilateral national park of European importance. Close cooperation in the realisation of the objectives of both national parks is therefore essential. The most important elements in the development of a bilateral national park are agreed objectives and joint activities in nature protection, education, research, recreation and culture. Examples of cross border projects of the Bavarian Forest and Šumava National Parks include the forest hiking area in the Finsterau/Bučina area, the Bavarian-Czech information and meeting centre at the border railway station in Bayerisch Eisenstein / Železná Ruda, cooperation between the two ranger services, joint Natura 2000 management planning and the joint lynx research project. These and the already existing cross border paths can also make a significant contribution to understanding between peoples and acceptance of the national parks in the region. 5.5. Support for measures for improving the yields in agriculture and forestry in the areas around the national park There are many interactions between the national park and its surrounding areas. The national park is home to many rare and endangered animal species, whose habitat does not end at the borders of the national park. For many of them, the surrounding areas are an important extension of their habitat. In the winter months, when there is considerable snow in the national park, the surrounding areas are very important to many animal species as areas of refuge. The farmed landscapes around the national park can therefore make a considerable contribution to the protection of species. For this reason, environmentally sustainable measures for improvements in yields from agriculture and forestry in the areas surrounding the national park would be sensible (e.g. direct marketing).
5.6. Improvements in local public transport The Bavarian Forest National Park has hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Around 90% of leisure visitors arrive by car at present. On the one hand, this individual travel endangers the attractiveness of the national park region; on the other hand it damages the quality of life of the local population. A high level of individual travel stands in contradiction to the the main nature protection objectives of the national park. Therefore it has to be an objective to reduce the level of motorized individual travel by increasing the use of public transport. Public transport should also be as environmentally friendly as possible. The railway (“Waldbahn”) and the Igelbus (hedgehog bus) system are particularly important. CONCEPT AND OBJECTIVES 27 5.7. Information and agreement on measures and plans in the national park and the surrounding area The bodies represented in the local government national park committee, the nature park association and the national park administration have to inform each other of the measures and plans which are important for the national park and the surrounding area and agree them in good time. This should above all strengthen positive development opportunities, avoid bad developments and encourage the integration of the national park in the region.
