Ski vacations Sun - Sunny prospects in the Bavarian Forest!

Sonnen

Close to the Austrian border, about 30 km east of the "three-river city" of Passau, lies the small resort of Sonnen. Due to its location in the border triangle of Germany-Austria-Czech Republic, the hamlet with 1,500 inhabitants offers the best conditions for a varied holiday in the midst of a great landscape. The geographical triad of Sonnen, Breitenberg and Wegscheid, which together form the Wegscheid Land, offers many cultural sights and invites you to explore off-piste.

Do you know the famous "Wegscheider Linen"? It is woven right here. The art of weaving has a long tradition in the Wegscheid region. Several hand weaving businesses and a weaving museum still bear witness to traditional linen weaving today. A popular excursion destination is the Friedrichsberg lookout tower between Breitenberg and Wegscheid, which offers a fantastic view of the snow-covered Bavarian Forest mountains. Up here, at the latest, it becomes clear what a beautiful landscape lies at your feet.

Bavarian Forest

The Bavarian Forest is the largest forest landscape in Central Europe. In 1970, the Bavarian Forest National Park was founded here, which together with the Bohemian Forest forms the largest contiguous forest reserve in Central Europe. In addition to the Alps, winter sports are also very popular in this part of Germany.

Families in particular will find just the right activities in this area. Those who do not wish to explore the beautiful snow-covered landscape of the Bavarian Forest on skis can also take a romantic ride on a horse-drawn sleigh. It is also worth visiting the famous palaces, castles and monasteries of the Bavarian Forest. You should also check out the numerous restaurants and rustic huts offering both regional and international delicacies.
