Bohemian Forest
The term "Saltusbohemicus" ("Bohemian Forest") for the region emerged in the 12th century. In the German language the names "Böhmischer Wald", "Beheimer Wald", "Behmerwald" or "Böhmerwald" were used, in Czech the name "Český les". The last-mentioned names are used today for the mountain range along the Czech Republic's southwestern border ("see:" Bohemian Forest).
