National parks encompass extensive areas of particular geographical interest or outstanding natural beauty. They have an important conservation role and offer protection to many rare species of animals and plants. National parks allow nature to take its course.
All Germany's national parks are areas of exceptional natural and cultural interest. Signs and information sheets provide visitors with a host of information about what to look out for. There are also guided tours of the parks and some specially built information centres.
Every German national park offers a unique experience. Each has its own special natural characteristics and offers different visitor services and facilities.
