The Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park is a true gem for hiking enthusiasts, nature lovers, and culture aficionados – a place to breathe, explore, and enjoy, for both locals and visitors!

Whether mystical forests, quiet valleys with clear streams, expansive ridges, or species-rich orchards – the diverse landscape is best experienced on foot.

For all those who want to experience nature up close, our trekking camps offer a unique experience: spending the night right in the middle of the forest – completely legal and fully immersed in nature. Whether you’re planning a single night, a weekend, or a multi-day tour, here you’ll find peace, freedom, and true wilderness moments. Together with our dedicated member communities and other partners such as Forst BW, we currently offer three special camps in the southeastern part of the nature park. In the coming years, additional camps are planned for the central area of the park.

The Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park boasts a beautiful natural and cultural landscape just waiting to be discovered on your trekking tour! Located far from the usual tourist trails, the park captivates with its soothing tranquility, diverse forested landscapes, and authentic rural life. It’s a hidden gem for anyone seeking an original, unspoiled experience and pure nature on their trekking or exploration trip!
