Other Risks
Tick-borne encephalitis is present in forested areas of southern Germany; vaccination is advisable. HIV testing is required for foreigners staying more than 180 days in Bavaria. Rabies is present; look out for ‘Tollwut' signs. For those at high risk, vaccination before arrival should be considered.
Health Care
For European visitors who are taken ill or have an accident during a visit to Germany, free or reduced-cost necessary treatment is available – in most cases on production of a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). For non-EEA citizens, insurance is highly recommended. The emergency telephone number is 112.
