The Kunisch Mountains (German: Künisches Gebirge; Královský hvozd – meaning "Royal Forest") is a range that includes part of the Bavarian Forest and the central Bohemian Forest, with its main chain between the Osser and the Zwercheck close to Upper Palatinate. From a geological perspective the Kunisch Mountains occupy a special position, because they are made of mica schist instead of the gneisses and granites that are common elsewhere in the Bavarian Forest. It has good farming soils and heavy precipitation which often falls as snow and ice in winter.
