With the constant rise in energy costs or for ecological reasons, private households are becoming increasingly interested in using firewood to generate energy. Private individuals can purchase standing, lying or advanced wood (also crown wood) and use it for their own needs.
Private and municipal forest owners usually offer firewood for independent processing, which cannot be used for sale to the timber industry after harvesting.
The self-harvester acquires a wood purchase right from the forest owner for a certain quantity of firewood or is allocated a demarcated area for firewood processing by the forest owner. Payment is made directly to the forest owner.

When processing firewood, the instructions of the forest owner must always be followed!
The Bavarian State Forests also offer firewood that you can make yourself. Please contact the responsible forestry company.
