Furth im Wald

Furth im Wald (in Czech Brod nad Lesy, resp.

Bavorský Brod) is a town in Bavaria, Germany, near the Czech border in the Bavarian Forest, 16 kilometres (9.9 miles) northeast of Cham, and 17 kilometres (11 miles) southwest of Domažlice.

The Drachenstich, originally part of a Corpus Christi procession, was first mentioned in 1590.

As one of the oldest folk plays in the German language, each year actors re-enact the legend of Saint George slaying the dragon.

[3] In 2010, the play became notable for using the world's largest walking robot, an animatronic dragon called Tradinno.
