Description

The history of mining dominates the resort. As early as the 15th century the area was well-known for silver mining. Later on the first glass factories appeared. During the past decades, Bodenmais has developed to become Germany's largest glass refining centre and offers besides many glass-blowing factories also the largest selection of lead crystal. But also tourism plays a great role in the area. There is a huge selection of winter hiking trails, some ski and toboggan runs, as well as a largely extended cross-country trail. The Bavarian Forest's landscape will fascinate you! You will find enjoyable and relaxing skiing here! For the little ones there is a magic carpet which also offers the ideal conditions for practising the first moves on skis. Those looking for more diversity, should try the ski area "Grosser Arber" (lift pass purchasable locally), which is easily to be reached with the ski bus. It offers approx. 10 km of runs covering all levels of difficulties and there is even a world cup run! With some considerate investments have been made in the modernisation of the lift and the snow making systems, which now results in good snow conditions right up into spring. Snowboarders can run riot in the fun park with boxes, rails, kickers and waves. The little ones can try themselves out in the "Arbar Kinderland" with conveyors, a ski carousel and flat practice area. In the evenings you can enjoy a special activity by skiing under flood lights. In Bodenmais you will be sure to find the one or the other umbrella bar, cosy hut or restaurant to end the perfect skiing day adequately. However, away from the pistes, there is also a diverse selection of winter hiking trails which lead you through the picturesque winter landscape. Also very popular with both young and old, is snowshoe hiking, which is offered by the local ski school, taking you on a guided tour over the mountain plateau. Toboggan fans will also find what they are looking for, for example on the approx. 1 km long run in the Arber area. For cross-country fans the region is marvellous. The activity centre in Bodenmais is one of the most snow sure cross-country ski areas in Germany. The cross-country centre in Bodenmais-Bretterschachten offers 6 trails up to 27 km length, which stretch over the southern slopes of the Gro
