The Liebensteiner Forest was a flat, undulating mountain range at 500 to 661  m above sea level, almost completely covered with spruce forests NHN in the eastern Fichtel Mountains .

Eichichtwald , Liebensteiner Revier , Hirschfelder Revier , Gärberhau and Neuenbrand-Revier were once divisions of the Liebensteiner Forest. Today these former territories are on Czech territory.

After the reallocation in the 1960s to 1980s by the Czechoslovak authorities, these departments were renamed accordingly. In terms of nature , Na Dobrošově , Libský les , Polenský les , Slatinný les and Novožďárský les today belong to the Blatenská vrchovina (German: Plattenberger Hochland ) in Hazlovská pahorkatina (German: Haslauer Hügelland), a sub-unit of the area that extends slightly beyond what is commonly known as the Fichtelgebirge Main geomorphological unit Smrčiny (German: Fichtelgebirge) according to the Czech system .

geography

The Liebenstein Forest extended north from Mühlbach bei Selb along today's border with Germany, east of the Selber Forest, south to north-west of Schirnding and in the east from Neuenbrand (today: Nový Žďár ) to south-east of Liebenstein (today: Libá ).

To the north of this area was the Ascher Upland (today: Ašská vrchovina ).

geology

Geologically , the mountain range consists essentially of granite . The history of its orogeny begins in the Precambrian about 750–800 million years ago - the mountains cover almost 20% of the earth's history , which only applies to a few of the rump mountains that still exist today . The mountain range is often interspersed with basalt cones .

mountains

The highest mountain in the Liebenstein Forest was the Kühbühl (today: Sušárna ) at 661  m above sea level. NHN

Localities

Smaller places like Liebenstein (Czech: Libštejn , today: Libá ) and many hamlets and wastelands were scattered in the Liebenstein Forest.

Waters

The streams Mühlbach , Alting , Schladabach , Weiherbach and Großbach , as well as pond chains on the eastern and southern edge of the forest drained the Liebenstein forest. The shop fountain is located on the western edge of the former Liebensteiner Revier, directly on the border with Bavaria .
