Happy birthday @hoskvarna !!!
I was visiting an area in the Czech Republic called Bohemian Paradise, thought I would share some photos. The region look a bit different from the Hosky hills but there is some corn being grown in the level areas along with wheat, barley, rape seed, oats, and hops.
The hills are sandstone, trees are a mix of conifers and deciduous; beech, chestnut, some I don't recognize.
We did meet a fellow harvesting some firewood on our way in but I neglected to take any photos. The territory is very steep so they cut their logs into about 2 meter lengths and carry them out of the woods to a trailer, final bucking takes place later. Harvest is almost exclusively downhill for obvious reasons. His saw was too far up the hillside for me to go up and help him cut, I'm not sure we could have communicated well enough for that to work out anyway.

This pile of logs was on our way out, there was a lot of evidence of trees being harvested along the major trails, it looks like most of the wood gets hauled out and used.
