Mountains Bohemian Forest

The Bohemian Forest is located in the west of the Czech Republic and partly extends into Germany. The nature here is very similar to Šumava. However, the Český les is on average 400 m lower in height than Šumava. In the Bohemian Forest we find flat ridges and shallow valleys. In the northern part of the Bohemian Forest there are typical peat bogs with pine bog and peat bog flowers.

Typical species in the local flora are, for example, the spreading fern (Dryopteris dilatata ), the hairy bullrush (Luzula pilosa), the sour sorrel (Oxalis acetosella), the scented honeysuckle (Galium odoratum), the perennial pheasant's-bit scabious (Mercurialis perennis), the decaying moss (Milium effusum), and the spotted arum (Arum maculatum) growing in the beech forests. The bird community is very rich, especially in natural beech forests.
