The Upper Palatinate-Bavarian Forest is one of Germany's main natural spatial units in the north-east of Bavaria . It consists mainly of the Bavarian Forest and the Upper Palatinate Forest , up to 1456 m high , which border the Bohemian Massif directly on this side of the south-western border of the Czech Republic . According to the manual of the natural spatial structure of Germany , it bears the code number 40, after the numbering by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, which has remained unchanged within the limits, the number D63.

location

In the extreme north-west, the greater region at Waldsassen , Tirschenreuth and Erbendorf merges into the Thuringian-Franconian low mountain range (39), which extends its ridge direction to the north-west. Between Erbendorf (N) and Regensburg (S) the Oberpfälzisch-Obermainische Hügelland (07 ) connects to the west , which separates the ridge from the Franconian Alb (08). Between Regensburg and Passau lies the border to the Lower Bavarian hill country , which adjoins it to the south-west, in the immediate vicinity of the Danube . After Austria , the low mountain range ( Bohemian Forest ) continues in the direction of the ridge, i.e. to the southeast. After the Czech Republic in the northeast, it does this perpendicular to the ridge that lies on the state border.

In the middle, between the Upper Palatinate and the Bavarian Forest, lies the district town of Cham .

Natural structure

Since the detailed breakdown 1: 200,000 sheet 154/155 Bayreuth did not appear, a complete, more in-depth breakdown only exists south of the latitude 49 ° 30 '. However, the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) has had the old main units since the 2000s, in z. T. easy, z. Some of the boundaries shifted a little more clearly, restructured. The natural areas (trailing letters) are partly divided into several simply connected segments, which are sorted according to the order in which they are listed at LfU (mostly from south-east to north-west) by trailing numbers, which, however, are not mentioned at LfU - nor are the names of the Segments. In the case of natural areas that have been broken down into individual sheets, an approximate translation into those natural areas is carried out (see, if necessary, natural area classification in the main unit articles); If the names of the units are listings of adjacent natural areas, a listing is also made with a subsequent number. Some main units have been completely redefined and structured, while main units 405 and 407 are almost exactly subdivided into coarser sub-units from sheet 174 Straubing

The Upper Palatinate-Bavarian Forest is divided into main units (three-digit) and sub-units according to LfU as follows:
