Hans Eisenmann House National Park Centre Lusen

Description

National Park exhibition, cinema, store, gastronomy and the children's adventure room Waldwerkstatt invite you to learn more about the Bavarian Forest National Park indoors.

The Hans-Eisenmann-Haus is the heart of the Lusen National Park Center and worth a visit not only in bad weather. The permanent exhibition "Paths through Nature and Time" interactively conveys knowledge about the national park, its history of development and its philosophy of "letting nature be nature". Children can let off steam in the forest workshop experience room and discover exciting details about the animals and plants of the national park on the replica of Mount Lusen. Cinema, temporary exhibitions, national park store and gastronomy complete the offer for the whole family. At the information desk, the staff will give valuable tips for further excursions in the national park. Guided tours for people with walking disabilities and wheelchair users are offered on request.
