Oberpfälzerwald Mountains
Quick Summary
The Oberpfälzerwald Mountains are a lower range within the larger Bohemian Forest, situated in Germany near the Czech Republic border. This region is characterized by gentler gradients and is largely cleared for farming, distinguishing it from the more heavily forested main groups of the Bohemian Forest like the Šumava and Hinterer Wald. The Oberpfälzerwald Mountains are separated from these main groups by a depression between the towns of Cham, Furth im Wald, and Domažlice. The climate is generally mild, supporting agriculture and forestry, with lumber-milling being a significant activity.12
