Elbe Sandstone Mountains
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, also called the Elbe Sandstone Highlands (german: Elbsandsteingebirge; cs, Děčinská vrchovina), are a mountain range straddling the border between the state of Saxony in southeastern Germany and the North Bohemian region of the Czech Republic, with about three-quarters of the area lying on the German side. In both countries, core parts of the mountain range have been declared a national park. The name derives from the sandstone which was carved by erosion. The river Elbe breaks through the mountain range in a steep and narrow valley. The Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland national parks, known also as Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland, are located within the territory of Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Geography Extent The Elbe Sandstone Mountains extend on both sides of the Elbe from the Saxon town of Pirna in the northwest toward Bohemian Děčín in the southeast. Their highest peak with is the Děčínský Sněžník in Bohemian Switzerland o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area
Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area ( cs, Chráněná krajinná oblast Litovelské Pomoraví, usually abbreviated as ''CHKO Litovelské Pomoraví'') is a protected landscape area in the floodplain of the Morava River, north of Olomouc in the Czech Republic. It was established on 15 November 1990 on an area of . In the centre of the area lies the town of Litovel, from which the protected area has derived its name. The ecological backbone of the protected landscape area is the naturally meandering Morava, in floodplain forests branching out and forming a complex system of permanent and temporary river arms, a so-called anastomosing river system. The uncontrollability and power of regular floods in the Middle Ages led Hanakian farmers to building a wreath of dikes around the forest where it meets agricultural land. Thanks to these the floodplain forests of Litovelské Pomoraví have within living memory offered significant flood protection to surrounding villages and the ...

Lusatian Mountains
The Lusatian Mountains ( cs, Lužické hory; german: Lausitzer Gebirge; pl, Góry Łużyckie) are a mountain range of the Western Sudetes on the southeastern border of Germany with the Czech Republic.

The northwestern foothills of the Lusatian Mountains are called the Lusatian Highlands; in the southwest the range borders on the České Středohoří mountains. The range is largely made up of sandstone sedimentary rocks leaning on a Precambrian crystalline Basement (geology), basement. The northern ridge is marked by the Lusatian Fault, a geological disturban ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
