Where the wild animals live: Watch wild boars and deer in the Ebersberg Forest. The game is not hunted there, but is fed.

Some visitors, like the Halas couple, come with picnic blankets. Others with nature film requirements and a camera tripod, preferably under a full moon. The busiest time is at dusk, at sunset or early in the morning. “The early bird always catches something,” says Heinz Utschig, head of Bavarian State Forests in Wasserburg.
