Vyšší Brod Pass

The Vyšší Brod Pass (in Czech Vyšebrodský průsmyk, in German Hohenfurther Pass) is a mountain pass near the Czech city of Vyšší Brod, separating the mountain ranges of Šumava and the Nové Hrady Mountains. It is located on the border between Austria and the Czech Republic, with an altitude of 752 metres (2,467 ft). Since the Roman times a road connecting Danube and Bohemia went cross the pass. The old road was replaced by a motorway in modern times. The southernmost point of the Czech Republic is located near the pass.
