Daubai Switzerland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Daubaer Switzerland (Czech Dubské Švýcarsko , even Dubské Skály or Polomené Mountains today as the local conservation area Kokořínsko dt (. Area around Kokorschin )) to the place Dauba (Dubé) named, is located in North Bohemia ( Czech Republic to the southeast) of the Czech Central Mountains ( České středohoří ) and belongs geomorphologically to the Rollberger hill country ( Ralská pahorkatina ). The area is bounded by the Elbe lowlands , the Jizera ( Iser ) lowlands , the Doksy ( Hirschberg am See ) pond area and merges into the Bohemian Central Mountains in the northeast. Most of the Daubian Switzerland is under landscape protection as CHKO Kokořínsko after Kokořín . The area was largely populated by Germans until 1945/46.

Emergence

As in Bohemian Switzerland and the other sandstone regions of Bohemia, the Chalk Sea also deposited sand here, which solidified into sandstone over the course of millions of years . In the Tertiary, volcanic magmas broke through the sandstone and formed the highest mountains. Due to the proximity of the Elbe ( Labe ) as a base for erosion , a large number of valleys were created, which structure the landscape today. The most important is the Kokořínsky důl ( Kokorschiner valley ), which drains into the Elbe ( Labe ) near Mělník ( Melnik ) .

landscape

Typical of Dauba's Switzerland are cool, shady valleys framed by sandstone cliffs, but also dry rocky reefs lined with pine trees. Some mountains built from volcanic rocks tower over this forest rock wilderness. The villages are characterized by well-kept half-timbered houses , which are here on the southern border of their distribution area.

Rock climbing

There is also limited climbing in Daubai Switzerland. The first rock was conquered before the First World War . Quargelstein was conquered as one of the most important rocks in 1909. Most of the rocks in Daubaer Schweiz are very small and widely scattered across the area. Significant rocks are almost completely missing. The rock is very poor in binding agents and usually very soft.
