Freyung, District capital in Freyung-Grafenau, Germany.
Located at 655 meters above sea level, Freyung occupies a strategic position between the Danube River and the Czech border in Bavaria.
The establishment of Freyung as an administrative center emerged through the 1972 merger of former counties Grafenau and Wolfstein into Freyung-Grafenau county.
The regional coat of arms displays a lozengy pattern featuring a bear representing Bärnstein district and a wolf symbolizing connections to Passau's heritage.
Municipal offices at Rathausplatz 1 handle administrative matters, while public transportation networks connect Freyung to neighboring communities throughout Bavaria.
Wolfstein Castle, positioned above the municipality of Ort, stands as a reminder of the region's administrative past under the Bishopric of Passau.
