The Bohemian Forest, also known in Czech as Šumava, is a low mountain range in Central Europe. Geographically, the mountains extend from South Bohemia in the Czech Republic to Austria and Bavaria in Germany. They create a natural border between the Czech Republic on one side and Germany and Austria on the other. For political reasons, the Bohemian and German sides have different names: in Czech: The Bohemian side is called Šumava. The Bavarian side Zadní Bavorský les (English: rear Bavarian Forest). In German, the Bohemian side is called Böhmerwald (English: Bohemian Forest). The Bavarian side Bayerischer Wald (English: Bavarian Forest). In Czech, Šumava is also used as a name for the entire adjacent region in Bohemia.
