Hercynian Forest

Hercynian Forest was an ancient forest of Central Germany, extending at one time from the Rhine to the Carpathian Mountains, described by Cæsar as nine days journey in breadth and sixty in length. Modern geographers believe it to be the modern day district of the Harz Mountains. Some believe it stretching from Westphalia across Middle Germany and along the northern borders of Austria to the Carpathians.
