The Forester of the Silver Wood (German: Der Förster vom Silberwald) is a 1954 Austrian-West German drama film directed by Alfons Stummer and starring Anita Gutwell, Rudolf Lenz and Karl Ehmann. It is part of the post-war trend of heimatfilm set in rural Austria or southern Germany. It was a popular success, leading to several follow-up films with the same lead actors including The Poacher of the Silver Wood.[1] In Austria it was released as Echo of the Mountains (German: Echo der Berge).
