The Bohemian forest, (hist. of: Forest of Boier, hist. lat .:silva bohemica, Czech.:Šumavaliterallythe rushing one, or Old Slavic for dense forest), is the western area of the Sumava Highlands Low mountain range (Czech.:Šumavská hornatina); the fourth highest mountain Czech Republic.
It is a classic region for hiking in summer and cross-country skiing in winter, away from the urban hustle and bustle. An area known for the centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship by glassmakers and wood carvers. Geographically, the Bohemian Forest extends along the Czech-Bavarian-Austrian border with the municipal boundary of Loučovice (German: Kienberg) as its extension point in the southeast.

Subordinate landscape
Spatial structure (sub-units) of the Bohemian Forest on the Czech side:
- Šumava plateau (Czech.:Šumavské plan), covers an extensive area of 670 km² (about 40% of the total area of the Bohemian Forest) with a length of 55 km and width of 20 km, and an average height of 980 m (3215¼ feet). The valleys here are mostly flat and undulating and open, often filled with peat bogs.
- Dreisessel Mountains (Czech.:Trojmezenská hornatina), on the southeastern edge of the Bohemian Forest, runs to the Hohenfurther Pass (Czech.:Vyšebrodský průsmyk), near the southernmost point of the Czech Republic, and covers an area of 350 km², with an average altitude of 856 m (2808 feet). Named after the Dreisesselberg (Czech.:Třístoličník), Prachatitz district (Czech.:Okres Prachatice). The entire ridge is covered with high forest, from which the highest elevations are the 1312 m high Dreisesselfels, the Hochstein and the Bavarian Plöckenstein (both 1332 m high). The three-seat chair is referred to in old documents as Hennhartsberg (Hühnerhabichtsberg). It was not until the 19th century that the mountain “bey den dreyen armchairs” became known as its current name.
- Eisenstein Mountains (Czech.:Železnorudská hornatina), in the northwestern part of the Bohemian Forest, covers an area of 200 km², with an average altitude of 893 m (2930 feet). Named after the village of Eisenstein (Czech.:Železná Ruda), Klattau district (Czech.:Okres Klatovy) it extends in the westernmost part of the Bohemian Forest. Also worth mentioning is its well-attended subunit Künisches Mountains (Czech.:Královský Hvozd).
- Kubany Mountains (Czech.:Boubínská hornatina), on the northeastern edge of the Bohemian Forest, covers an area of 126 km², with an average height of 993 m (3258 feet) and thus the average highest mountain range in the Bohemian Forest. Named after Mount Kubany (Czech.:Boubín), it is almost entirely forested and sparsely populated. It is located in the Prachatitz district (Czech.:Okres Prachatice).
- Vltava valley (Czech.:Vltavická brázda), forms the natural southeastern Bohemian Forest border and covers an area of 136 km², with an average altitude of 851 m (2792 feet). Named after the town of Untermoldau (Czech.:Dolní Vltavice), Krumlov District (Czech.:Okres Český Krumlov). The upper reaches of the Vltava flows through it as the longest river in Czech Republic and largest tributary of the Elbe.
- Salnau Mountains (Czech.:Želnavská hornatina), in the northeastern part of the Bohemian Forest, covers an area of 179 km², with an average altitude of 921 m (3021½ feet). So named after the South Bohemian town Želnava (German: Salnau), Prachatitz district (Czech.:Okres Prachatice).
Official
Regardless of the geomorphological affiliation, one usually only designates that of Czech Republic administered sub-area as Bohemian Forest. That from Germany managed sub-area as Bavarian forest and that of Austria managed sub-area as Bohemian Forest (Mühlviertel). Together they form, despite this sovereign division, one of the largest contiguous forest areas in Europe and are used by the German-speaking locals Woid called.
Geomorphologically
The Bohemian Forest is the western area of the Sumava Highlands Low mountain range (Czech.:Šumavská hornatina); the fourth highest mountain Czech Republic. Together with the geologically and geomorphologically associated Bavarian forest as well as the upper one in the south Mühlviertel, the Bohemian Forest extends in Hercynian direction, from the Cham-Further Senke (Czech.:Všerubská vrchovina) in the north-northwest, around 100 km, to the depression of the Danube valley in the south-southeast.
The main chain of the region is called the "high Bohemian Forest". The Big Arber (Czech.:Velký javor) on Bavarian side is at 1455½ m (4775 feet) the highest point of this low mountain range and with its large and small lake a popular excursion destination. The USA maintained a wiretapping system here during the Cold War. In the Czech Republic and Austria, the Plöckenstein / Plechý on the border is the highest mountain at 1378¼ m (4522 feet). The Bohemian Forest is a forest with many mountains over a thousand meters high, see Regions.

background
The Bohemian Forest holiday region is a pristine low mountain range of farmers. Where a lot, independent, down-to-earth, but a little different, and with a bitter, but hearty charm is. Its wooded areas, with golden-brown, iron-containing streams, attract hikers, cyclists and those looking for relaxation.
fauna
According to the biologist Pavel Šustr (German: Paul Schuster) the importance of the Bohemian Forest as a habitat for deer, roe deer, lynx and other mammals is great, because “The space for large animals, especially for mammals, is decreasing in Europe”, he writes in his recently published book “Jelenovití na Šumavě ”(“ Deer in the Bohemian Forest ”), in which he presents the research results. The Bohemian Forest is in common with the Bavarian forest one of the last territories in Central Europewhere such animals would still find enough space (Information from the Prager Zeitung from 6. II 2014).

protection
The Bohemian Forest is an exceptionally valuable natural landscape, in the area of which many nature reserves were already declared before it was re-declared in 1963 CHKO (German: LSG) Šumava, which newly included in its protected area. In 1991 the Šumava National Park was recognized as the most valuable part of the CHKO (German: LSG) Šumava was founded. The Šumava National Park and the protection zone formed by the rest of the Šumava LSG cover a large part of the Bohemian Forest area, which is thus extensively protected. Together with the Bavarian Forest National Park, this protected area represents the largest protected forest area in Central Europe, just as it was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. Much spruce monoculture forest fell victim to the bark beetle, whereby these areas are slowly recovering, now without human intervention. Despite various quarrels, the human being is largely to blame for it. The CHKO (German: LSG) Šumava is a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
Basic rules
There are a few basic rules that you should always adhere to when visiting the NSG and the Bohemian Forest National Park!

Origin of name
The Bohemian Forest is first mentioned in history by Strabo and Claudius Ptolemy as Gabreta Silva. Later than lat .:silva bohemica, so hist. of"Forest ofBoier", in his work "Rerum Hungaricum”By Antonio Bonfini in 1565, along with today's Czech name Šumavaused, and later reused in the 17th century by the authors Pavel Stransky and Bohuslav Balbin. The name Šumava comes from the Old Slavic word "šuma" for a forest (dense forest).
The Bohemian Forest as part of the Sumava Highlands Low mountain range (Czech.:Šumavská hornatina) belongs to what geologists call the Bohemian Massif, which in turn makes up ¾ of the Czech Republic and is one of the oldest mountain ridges on earth. This got its name from the 4th to 1st century BC. Celtic settlers here Boier. From this tribal name it is not far to the Baiern or Bavaria. Their living space was called boio-hemum, so hist. of:"Home of theBoier". In fact, the term "Bavarian Forest" is said to have only been introduced as a marketing idea in the 19th century to attract tourists. To this day, the Bavarian Forest refers to the section of forest under Bavarian administration, while the section of forest under Czech administration continues to be only the Bohemian Forest (Czech.:Šumava) is called. In Austria people talk about the Mühlviertel and the locals just talk about it Woid.
language

security
Empfehlenswert ist bei Wanderungen eine dem Gebirge angepasste entsprechende Kleidung, gutes Schuhwerk, Kompass und Wander- oder örtliche Landkarte, mit sich zu führen, da der Mobilfunk Empfang nicht flächendeckend gewährleistet ist und der Wald zusätzlich das Signal stört.
climate
Großklimatisch liegt der Böhmerwald im Übergangsbereich der atlantisch-westeuropäischen zur kontinental-osteuropäischen Klima-Provinz und zeigt daher ein Mischklima, das Elemente beider Grundtypen vereinigt. Die Temperaturwerte ergeben ein recht einheitliches, schon deutlich kontinental geprägtes Bild.
