Bayerisch Eisenstein is located within the Bayerischer Wald, and borders the Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany's first national park, established in 1970). The town is both a winter and a summer resort. In the summer, walking in the forest and mountains is popular. In winter, winter sports prevail, concentrated around the Großer Arber mountain.

It is one of a trio of connected places in the area. The other two are Železná Ruda (known in German as Böhmisch Eisenstein or Markt Eisenstein) and Špičák (Dorf Eisenstein), both in the Czech Republic. Železná Ruda lies 2 kilometres northeast from Bayerisch Eisenstein. The town's railway station is split by the border. In August 2006 Bayerisch Eisenstein and Železná Ruda signed a twinning agreement.
