Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park

Explore the signed moor trail; the approach from Seepark parking is additional.

A complete circuit from Seepark through the moor, art installations and village craft stops.

A complete Wm02 lake circuit from the information board beside minigolf.

Start with Seepark playtime, then choose the moor trail or full art circuit. Have a picnic or lunch locally, leaving the museum for a rainy afternoon.

The downloadable Fanny-and-Beppi puzzle booklet turns the lake circuit into a sign-reading game. Use it for the questions and characters; follow the current route signs on the ground.

Try the children’s mineral quiz at Hausfelder Straße 1. The operator lists Monday–Friday 10:00–17:30 and Saturday 10:00–16:00; confirm holiday arrangements. Allow for stairs to the museum.

Bogbean grows in Arrach’s transition mire. Look from the boardwalk and use the interpretation panels to help distinguish the small wetland plants.

Downy birches form part of Arrach’s bog woodland. Photograph a tree with the wet ground around it to show the habitat.

Common bilberry grows in drier parts of Arracher Moor. Compare these low shrubs with plants in wetter patches; leave berries and leaves untouched.

Bog bilberry also grows at Arrach. Photograph the whole visible plant for identification later; never taste berries to identify them.

At Arracher Moor, altered watercourses and woody vegetation can reveal beaver activity. Observe from the public path, well away from dams and lodges.

Adders use open parts of the moor. Keep your distance if one appears; never reach into vegetation or reposition a snake for a photograph.

Fire salamanders occur in Arrach’s wetland habitats but may remain hidden. If one appears beside the path, watch without handling it.

Otters occur across the park’s waterways and are mainly active around dusk and at night. A glimpse is a bonus; watch only from public paths.

Arrach contains raised-bog cores alongside transition mire and fen. Keeping water in the site is essential; conservation work addresses past drainage and unwanted tree growth.

Seepark has an accessible public toilet and seating. Perlsee has public toilets, a restaurant and a seasonal kiosk. Wildgarten has a compost toilet.

Check both the main-line arrival and the local branch before setting out. The autumn RB27 works can affect connections even if your final train is RB28 to Arrach or RB29 to Waldmünchen. Buy your replacement-bus ticket before boarding.
