This is a transnational WHS which spreads across twelve countries. At the end of the last Ice Age, the European Beech was confined to a few areas in the Alps, Carpathians, Dinarides, Mediterranean, and Pyrenees. From thence, its adaptability and tolerance of different physical conditions have allowed it to spread across the whole of Europe. This WHS includes areas in Europe where virgin beech forests remain intact.

The protected areas can be found in the following regions:

• Albania: counties of Elbasan and Kukës
• Austria: states of Lower Austria, Styria, and Upper Austria
• Belgium: province of Brabant
• Bulgaria: provinces of Gabrovo, Lovech, Plovdiv, Sofia, and Stara Zagora
• Croatia: counties of Lika-Senj and Zadar
• Germany: states of Brandeburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Thuringia
