Mountain range bounded NW by Chamb and Regen Rivers and SW by the Danube valley; merges N into the Bohemian Forest in the Czech Republic; highest peak, the Einodriegel (1126 m/3694 ft); largest continuous forest in Europe; contains Germany's first national park.
The Bavarian Forest (German: Bayerischer Wald) is a low mountain range in Bavaria, Germany. Geographically the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest are the same mountain range.
The highest mountain is the Großer Arber ("Great Arber", 1456 m). The main river is the Regen, which is formed by the conjunction of White Regen and Black Regen and leaves the mountains towards the city of Regensburg.
A portion of the Bavarian Forest is occupied by the Bavarian Forest National Park (240 km²).
