Summary/Abstract: In this paper the autor attempts to answer the questions: whether the demographic processes taking place in the test area are typical for mountain areas? What actions must be taken in order to reverse the negative demographic trends? An answer to the questions required a calculation of population density; population growth rate and the share of the population by age groups in the total population. To assess the commonness of demographic processes occurring in the Sudeten border mountain area results were compared with similar; obtained for Landkreis Bad Toelz-Wolfratshausen. After defining main demographic problems; a number of actions; based on the experience of other mountain regions were proposed to local and regional authorities. These considerations have been preceded by a brief characterization of the Sudeten border mountainous area.
