Danube Hills
The Anterior Bavarian Forest (german: Vorderer Bayerischer Wald), also variously called the Vorderer Forest, Vorderer Wald or Danube Hills, is part of the Bavarian Forest, a low mountain range in Germany. Name In older geographical-regional literature the German name ''Vordere Bayerische Wald'' was applied to the whole southern chain of the Bavarian/Bohemian mountains between the Danube and the Regen, from the Keilberg Depression near Regensburg to the Austro-German border near Passau. Bernhard Grueber and Adalbert Müller described it in 1846 as the ''äußern Wald'' ('outer forest') "named the Regen Mountains by the geographers". Others chose the name Danube Hills (''Donaugebirge'') instead. Frequently this region was even equated with the Bavarian Forest and contrasted with the Bohemian Forest. Beer, in his work ''Der Böhmerwald und Bayerische Wald'' in 1925, talked of a "major prelude to the Bohemian Forest“. Even today, many maps only label the lower forest as the Bava ...

Brotjacklriegel
Seen from the River Danube, the Brotjacklriegel is the first high mountain in the Bavarian Forest. It is and lies in the county of Freyung-Grafenau in the German federal state of Bavaria. It is a symbol of the Sonnenwald region which comprises the municipalities of Schöfweg, Zenting, Innernzell, Grattersdorf and Market Schöllnach. Name According to legend, the Brotjacklriegel owes its name to a baker, ''Brotjackl'' (EN: "Bread-Jacky"), who is supposed to have hidden on the mountain during the Thirty Years' War. However, the name probably only came into being later during survey work by the French under Napoleon when because of a misunderstanding of the Bavarian "Broada Jaga-Riegl" (Breiter Jägerriegel; EN: Broad Hunter's Sill) the name ''Brotjacklriegel'' was written down. History As early as 1839 the parish priest and two publicans from Langfurth built the first viewing tower. In 1924 the present 27-metre-high construction was built. Description On the east ...
