Forest Fire Risk

Stand: 23.06.2026

During prolonged dry spells, the risk of wildfires increases, especially during the summer months. Therefore, please observe a few important rules. Among other things, there is a strict ban on smoking in forests from March 1 through October 31.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Do not light any fires in or near the forest, including barbecue fires. Stay at least 100 meters away from the forest (Bavarian Forest Act)
  • Do not throw lit cigarettes out of your car
  • Never park vehicles on flammable surfaces due to hot catalytic converters
  • Passenger cars, motorcycles, and agricultural vehicles may not be parked on meadows or forest trails
  • Smoking is prohibited in forests from March 1 through October 31.

Even in the case of small fires or smoke, the fire department should be alerted immediately by calling the emergency number 112
