Mountains Of Bavaria
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and ...

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 ...
