Luch (landform)
The term ''Luch'' (plural: ''Luche'') is German and refers to an area of originally expansive, marshy or boggy lowland in northeast Germany, especially in the state of Brandenburg. ''Luche'' are found mainly in Young Drift regions; but they also occur on Old Drift landscapes. According to Leser the term should not be translated. Location and history ''Luche'' mainly formed in the main urstromtal valleys or their side valleys. After the end of the Ice Age, the water table rose during the postglacial period resulting in the formation of bogs. The peat thickness is not particularly great; in most cases it is less than 2 metres thick. Before the installation of artificial drainage networks excess water often accumulated in the ''Luche'' in ponds. In contrast with lowlands with natural watercourses, they were give a different name from the neighbouring ''Bruche'' ( carrs), such as the Oderbruch to the east and the Hohennauen Bruch on the Havel to the west. Most of the ''Luche'' i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rhinluch
The Rhinluch is a fen landscape in the German state of Brandenburg, bisected by the river Rhin to which it owes its name. This wetland region lies north of Fehrbellin in the county of Ostprignitz-Ruppin. The upper Rhinluch covers an area of about . The suffix '' luch'' is used to describe several wet areas in the state of Brandenburg, in which, prior to the advent of modern drainage systems, water remained largely stagnant rather than flowing. The Rhinluch was formed during the last ice age and its post-glacial period. About 16,000 years ago, the Eberswald ''urstromtal'' was formed by the meltwaters of the glacial ice sheet as they drained away to the sea. Later, this broad river valley dried up as the ice sheet retreated during the late ice age. In the land that makes up the present-day Rhinluch, lakes initially formed in individual places, especially where there were dead ice kettle holes. Over the course of time, these became bogs through the natural silting up process. In ad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
