Furth im Wald is a town in the District of Cham, in Bavaria, Germany, near the Czech border. It is situated in the Bavarian Forest, 16 km northeast of Cham, and 17 km southwest of Domažlice. The town is known as Drachenstadt due to its association with the Saint George and the dragon legend and the town's annual Drachenstich (Slaying of the Dragon) festival.[2]
