The Mokřinská vrchovina (German roughly: Nassengruber Hochland) is a flat, undulating highland that is almost completely covered with spruce forests and is 500 to 744  m nm in the eastern Fichtel Mountains . The subdistrict Mokřinská vrchovina together with the subdistrict Polenská vrchovina (German about: Hirschfelder Hochland) results in the district Blatenská vrchovina (German about: Plattenberger Hochland) of the geomorphological division of the Czech Republic .

Egerer Stadtwald , Elsterwald and Danich Wald ( Bannwald  - was dissolved) were once divisions of the Elster Mountains . 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 natural space , Chebský les and Halštrovský les today belong to the Mokřinská vrchovina in the Hazlovská pahorkatina (German: Haslauer Hügelland), a sub-unit of the main geomorphological unit Smrčiny (German: Fichtelgebirge) according to the Czech system, which extends somewhat beyond the area commonly known as the Fichtelgebirge .

Geomorphological classification

geography

The Mokřinská vrchovina extends north from Mühlbach bei Selb along today's state border with Germany east of the Selber Forest to the south to northwest of Nový Žďár (German: Neuenbrand) and extends in the east from Horní Paseky (German: Oberreuth) to north of Hazlov ( German: Haslau).

North of this area is the Ašská vrchovina (German roughly: Ascher Bergland).

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 of the Mokřinská vrchovina is the Záhoř (German: Elsterberg) with 744  m nm

Localities

Places such as Nový Žďár (German: New fire) Horni Paseky (German: Oberreuth) Mokřiny (German wet Grub), Hazlov (German: Haslau) and many hamlets and deserts are scattered in or on the Mokřinská highlands .

Waters

The streams Mlýnský potok (Alting) (German: Mühlbach), Mlýnský potok (Selbbach) (German: Alting) and Bilý Halštrov (German: White Elster), as well as various chains of ponds drain the Mokřinská vrchovina .

natural reserve

The significant landscape today has many high-quality habitats.

The Mokřinská vrchovina is now considered a retreat for the black stork and a territory for the re-spread of the lynx .

history

The name Waldsteinerkette, used until the 19th century for the northwest and northeast flanks of the Fichtelgebirge, has been forgotten and is no longer used.
