List of natural forest reserves in Bavaria
This list contains 160 (as of March 2017) natural forest reserves in Bavaria . The list contains the official designations for name, identifier, natural area , size and the year of designation. The geographical location is averaged and the information about the district / city relates to this information. However, the areas can also extend over several administrative districts.
For about 40 years (more since the nature conservation year 1970), natural forest reserves have been designated throughout Germany in order to preserve a range of total reserves. Natural forest reserves are forests that are largely in a natural state. The natural forest development takes place here undisturbed. In the course of time, primeval forests with strong trees and a lot of dead wood develop there . In Bavaria there are currently 160 such natural forest reserves with an area of 7,316 hectares.
