- Oppose, a rough Google check indicates that the Czech name may be used more frequently in English than the somewhat confusing name "Bohemian forest". And even when I type "Bohemian forest" into Google the first hit I get uses Šumava . I have no knowledge of Czech geography but it seems to me that the terms Bohemian forest and Šumava are not strictly synonymous. In any case I think we should defer to the actual editors of the article. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 21:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Hinterer Bayerischer Wald
Shouldn't it just be listed as "...and the Bavarian side Bayerischer Wald (literally, 'Bavarian Forest')", as the Hinterer Bayerischer Wald is part of the Bavarian Forest? Olessi 16:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- I agree - see history of the article... First it was written as you propose, but changed by 84.244.73.130. --Wikimol 09:25, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
