Ebersberger Forst

Ebersberger Forst, Protected forest and recreation area in Ebersberg district, Germany.

The Ebersberger Forst is a contiguous forest of about 90 km² east of Munich, made up of the unincorporated areas Anzinger Forst, Ebersberger Forst and Eglhartinger Forst. It lies on the Munich gravel plain in the north and west and passes into moraine country with the Egglburger See nature reserve in the southeast. Straight gravel roads run west-east and north-south; 77 km² belong to the Free State of Bavaria.

The forest was hit by a nun moth caterpillar infestation, and in 1890 a standard-gauge forest railway about eight kilometres long was built within ten weeks to carry away the dead wood, linking the forest to Kirchseeon station on the Munich–Rosenheim line. Five loading points stood along it, one with a steam-powered loading crane, and 35 kilometres of fixed narrow-gauge track were laid through the woods. Today 77 km² of the roughly 90 km² area belongs to the Free State of Bavaria.

Locals name themselves by their side of the forest: seen from Ebersberg, people southeast of it are "Drinnerhoizer" (inside the wood), those northwest "Draußerhoizer" (outside the wood). The forest also splits the district into a southern and a northern half that differ in landscape and settlement.

The forest is reached by the S2 (Poing, Markt Schwaben) and S4 (Zorneding, Eglharting, Kirchseeon, Ebersberg) lines, and by the A94, B12 and B304 roads. Straight gravel roads run west-east and north-south; only the Wildruhezone and the main vehicle roads depart from this grid. Of 210 km of forest roads, 150 km are resurfaced with gravel every five to six years.

The forest holds no lake called Ebersberger See; the water body on its southeastern edge is the Egglburger See nature reserve. The 36-metre Ludwigshöhe observation tower and the Museum Wald und Umwelt stand on the Ludwigshöhe near Ebersberg, with views to the northern Alps in clear weather.
