Great Arber (Großer Arber)

Endearingly called the “King of the Bavarian Forest,” the Great Arber (Großer Arber) is the place for hiking, skiing and a multitude of family activities.

Rising majestically at a height of 1455.5m, the Großer Arber "Great Maple" is the highest peak of the Bavarian and Bohemian Forest mountain range. This enchanting forest is covered by sub-alpine grasses and creeping pines, which makes it very picturesque. Great for hiking in spring when the mountain flowers are in full bloom or see the golden hues of falling leaves in autumn. Skiers will be thrilled to find well-known ski resorts in the Großer Arber which looks especially stunning when covered with snow. Moreover, the Great Arber makes for a wonderful family trip as a lovely, scenic nature reserve in the summer and a winter sports hub for the kids during the colder months.
