The Kohlberger Höhenrück (also: Kohlberger Höhe ) is a natural subunit in the northern Upper Palatinate hill country .

Natural allocation and structure

The Kohlberger Höhenrücke is a subordinate natural area in the north of the Upper Palatinate hill country .

Since sheet 154/155 Bayreuth of the single sheets 1: 200,000 for the manual of the natural spatial structure of Germany has not been published, there is no detailed breakdown for the northern part of the Upper Palatinate hill country . The Kohlberg ridge is regularly mentioned as a natural area in relevant specialist literature.

Important places

geography

The Kohlberg ridge extends east-west from the Grünauer Höhe directly on the Naab south-west of Luhe-Wildenau over the saddle from Neudorf bei Luhe , the Schwarzberg and the Eichenberg to the Rödlasberg south of Massenricht .

The Kohlberger ridge is a shed slab slightly to the north . Opposite it are two tectonically caused collapse zones in the north and south. Weiden Bay borders in the north . In the south, the Kohlberg ridge is bounded by the Luhe line and, through this, delimited from the Hirschau-Schnaittenbacher valley .

geology

The Rotliegend sediments of the Kohlberger Höhenrücken were created in a desert climate from the erosion debris of the Variscan Mountains following the tropical to subtropical Carbon Age in which extensive swamp forests were found in the area of ​​the Kohlberger Höhenrücken.
