Vyšší Brod Pass



The Vyšší Brod Pass (Vyšebrodský průsmyk, Hohenfurther Pass) is a mountain pass separating the Bohemian Forest mountain range and the Granite and Gneiss Plateau.

Geography
The pass is located on the border between the Czech Republic and Austria, between the towns of Vyšší Brod and Bad Leonfelden. It lies at a height of 764 m above sea level and is the southernmost point of the Bohemian Forest. The southernmost point of the Czech Republic is located 1.8 km southeast of the pass.

Transport
Since the Roman Empire times a road connecting the Danube with Bohemia went over the pass. The old track was replaced by a motor road in modern times. The road border crossing Studánky / Weigetschlag is located here.
