Geological map

Cross-border geological map of Šumava and the Bavarian Forest, the first of its kind. The aim was to map this area as a complete geological region. The map was created by the Czech Geological Survey by linking geological maps of Bavaria and the Czech Republic at a scale of 1:50,000. The geological relief map will be available in digital and plastic form.

Šumava, together with the Bavarian Forest, is one of the oldest mountain ranges in Europe, made up of rocks of pre-Proterozoic to Proto-Proterozoic origin (granites, rulas, svars, migmatites, granulites, limestones). Geologically, Šumava belongs to the Moldanubik, namely its Šumava branch.
