The Šumava National Park or Bohemian Forest National Park is a national park in the South Bohemian regions of the Czech Republic along the border with Germany and Austria. They protect a little-inhabited area of the mountain range of the same name, the Šumava or Bohemian Forest. Since 1990 it has been a protected biosphere reserve of UNESCO.
The Bohemian Forest mountain range is covered by the most extensive forest in Central Europe, whose natural composition was, however, changed and today spruce plantations prevail in most of the area. In many places non-native spruce varieties were planted. These are not well adapted to the harsh local climate and are therefore susceptible to a range of elements, such as strong winds and bark beetle.
