Ski vacations Bohemian Forest - Romantic uplands at the border triangle!

The Bohemian Forest is a mountain chain which stretches over 200 km along the German-Czech-Austrian border. Although geographically speaking it is only a single mountain range, the name it's given depends on the region, i.e the political border. On the German side it's called the Bavarian Forest, it is known in Czech as Šumava and in Upper Austria it's given the name Bohemian Forest. The Czech part is at between 510 and 1,378 m above sea level, with the highest mountain, Plechý (Plöckenstein) being located on the Austrian border. In 1990 the UNESCO biosphere reserve Šumava was founded.

Since the Middle Ages glass production has played a huge part in the region's economy and is known for this today. Tourism is now of increasing significance- also in winter. The Bohemian Forest is dotted with many small ski areas, each with its unique charm, so you really are spoilt for choice. All over you'll find soft slopes, often also with ski kindergartens for the little ones, to challenging pistes which lead through the wonderful forest landscape.
