The Czech Republic is found in Central Europe and is a very unique country with several different eco-regions.  It is landlocked and has the distinct trait of being bordered by four countries.  These countries are:

  • Poland, which nestles against the Northern Border of the Czech Republic
  • Slovak Republic, which is found on the Eastern Border.
  • Austria, which is the Czech Republic’s Southern Neighbour
  • Germany, which shares a large border that covers the Western edges of the country as well as the North Western border.

Although it is not necessarily important in answering this question, per say, it is interesting to note that the Czech Republic has 4 neighbors and is also divided into 4 eco-regions.  These are:

  • Pannonian Mixed Forests
  • Carpathian Montane Conifer Forests
  • Central European Mixed Forests
  • Western European Broadleaf Forests.
