Getting There & Around
From Munich, Regensburg or Passau, Zwiesel is reached by rail via Plattling; most trains
continue to Bayerisch Eisenstein on the Czech border, with connections to Prague. The
scenic Waldbahn shuttles directly between Zwiesel and Bodenmais, and Zwiesel and
Grafenau.
There's also a network of regional buses, though service can be infrequent. The Igel-
Bus, operated by
Ostbayernbus
(
www.ostbayernbus.de
)
, navigates around the national
park on five routes. A useful one is the Lusen-Bus (€4/10 per one/three days), which
leaves from Grafenau Hauptbahnhof and travels to the Hans-Eisenmann-Haus, DJH
Hostel and Lusen hiking area.
The best value is usually the
Bayerwald-Ticket
(
www.bayerwald-ticket.com
;
€7)
, a
day pass good for unlimited travel on bus and train throughout the forest area. It's avail-
able from the park visitor centre, stations and tourist offices throughout the area.
