About Bayrischzell Regional Park

 

Bayrischzell Regional Park is located in the district of Miesbach in Bavaria, Germany, at the foothills of the Mangfall Mountains, part of the Bavarian Alps. The park encompasses a diverse range of landscapes, including dense coniferous and mixed forests, alpine meadows, mountain lakes, and rugged peaks such as the Wendelstein and Sudelfeld ranges. Rich in flora and fauna, the park sustains species like red deer, chamois, alpine salamanders, and various bird species, alongside pristine natural habitats. Historically, Bayrischzell has served as a mountain village and timber harvesting center, with alpine traditions maintained in local culture and architecture. Visitors enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities through all seasons. In summer, hiking on well-marked trails like the Wendelstein Panorama Trail and trail running are popular, while mountain biking enthusiasts appreciate varied singletracks. Fishing in local mountain lakes and rivers offers peaceful recreation. Winter draws skiers and snowboarders to well-maintained slopes at Sudelfeld, along with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing routes. Notable landmarks include the Wendelstein cable car, which provides access to spectacular panoramic views, and the picturesque Bayrischzell village known for Bavarian hospitality. The park's combination of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and diverse recreational opportunities makes it a beloved destination for outdoor enthusiasts and families seeking an authentic alpine experience.
