The Polenská vrchovina (German roughly: Hirschfelder Hochland) is a flat, undulating highland that is almost completely covered with spruce forests and is 500 to 670  m nm in the eastern Fichtel Mountains . The subdistrict Polenská vrchovina together with the subdistrict Mokřinská vrchovina (German about: Nassengruber Hochland) result in the district Blatenská vrchovina (German about: Plattenberger Hochland) of the geomorphological division of the Czech Republic .

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. Geographically include Na Dobrošově , Libský les , Polensky les , Slatinný les and Novožďárský les today to Polenská vrchovina in the Hazlovská pahorkatina (German about: Haslauer hills), a subunit of something about the commonly than Fichtelgebirge specified area beyond geomorphological main unit Smrčiny German (: Fichtelgebirge) according to the Czech system .

Geomorphological classification

geography

The Polenská vrchovina extends north from Mühlbach bei Selb along today's border with Germany east of the Selber Forest to the south to northwest of Schirnding and extends in the east from Nový Žďár (German: Neuenbrand) to southeast of Libá (German: Liebenstein).

To the north of this area are the further subdistrict Mokřinská vrchovina (German: Nassengruber Hochland) and the sub-unit Ašská vrchovina (German: Ascher Bergland) belonging to the Polenská 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 Polenská vrchovina is the Goethův vrch (German: Goethestein) with 670  m nm

Localities

Places such as Nový Žďár (German: New fire), Hazlov (German: Haslau) Libá (Czech: Libštejn , German: Liebenstein) and many hamlets and deserts are scattered in or on the Polenská highlands .

Waters

The streams Slatinný potok (German: Schladabach), Nebeský potok (German: Weiherbach) and Großbach (Czech: Libský potok ), as well as chains of ponds on the eastern and southern edges drain the Polenská vrchovina . The shop fountain is located on the western edge of Libský les , directly on the border with Bavaria .

natural reserve

The significant landscape today has many high-quality habitats.

The Polenská 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.
