Wolf in the Mühldorf district: isolated case or soon more?

There is exciting news for nature lovers in the Mühldorf am Inn district: a wolf was detected on June 7, 2025. This proof didn't just fall out of the sky, but was confirmed through a crack swab and a genetic analysis. The Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) has made this discovery public because the wolf is a natural part of the ecosystem in southern Bavaria and is mostly invisible to us humans. The question therefore arises: What does this evidence mean for the region?

The current wolf discovery is according to Innsalzach24 and Wasserburger Voice an isolated case. There is currently no evidence that the wolf has permanently settled in the district. Rather, experts assume that it is a migratory animal that is looking for a great new territory. It is known that young male wolves often leave their parent pack and can cover impressive distances of up to 70 kilometers or more.

Protection measures and information

For many people living in rural areas, the idea of ​​encountering a wolf is not without eyebrows. But don't worry! Wolves are naturally very cautious and avoid contact with humans. The LfU homepage provides comprehensive information on what to do if you encounter a wolf or if you report observations of wolves. The LfU calls on all citizens to report such sightings.

Particularly interesting for farmers: The Mühldorf District Office also offers comprehensive information on promoting livestock guard dogs. These four-legged friends can provide valuable support in protecting livestock from possible attacks and thus reducing the worries of animal owners.

It seems that the wolf is increasingly becoming an interesting topic in the region. People are invited to deal with the circumstances and use the relevant online resources from the LfU and the district office. It remains to be seen whether we will hear more information about amphibians in our area in the future or whether this individual case will actually remain the only one.
