The Selb-Wunsied (e) ler plateau is a wooded and mountainous plateau in the inner Fichtelgebirge horseshoe . In terms of nature , the plateau represents the main unit 395 and the sub-units Selb-Wunsiedler Hügelland (395-A) and Selber Forst (395-B) within the main unit group Thuringian-Franconian Central Mountains (39), which extends from the Thuringian Forest to the Fichtel Mountains . Since September 2010 there has been a new design for the natural areas of northeast Bavaria, within which the plateau is designated as the Inner Fichtelgebirge natural area with a slightly different boundary .
geography
The plateau begins north of the Eger river in the east at Sommerhau via Libá (German: Liebenstein ) and Hazlov (German: Haslau ) in the Czech Republic and continues via Schönwald and Kirchenlamitz to Weißenstadt in the west. To the south of the Eger, the plateau extends from Hohenberg an der Eger and Schirnding in the east via Waldershof near Marktredwitz to Wunsiedel ( Zeitelmoos ) and Voitsumra in the west.
In terms of nature, the Selb-Wunsiedler plateau is divided into the Selb-Wunsiedler hill country (395-A) and the Selber Forest (395-B).
On the Czech side, it is located in the northern part in the Ašská vrchovina (German approximately: Ascher Bergland), in the central part, adjacent to the Selber Forst, in the Hazlovská pahorkatina (German approximately: Haslauer Hügelland) and in the southern part in the Chebská pánev (German: Egerbecken) continued.
In the geomorphological breakdown of the neighboring Czech Republic , the Ašská vrchovina, the Hazlovská pahorkatina and the Chebská pahorkatina (German: Egerer Hügelland) are assigned to the (inner) Fichtelgebirge as the main unit Smrčiny (I3A-1).
geology
Geologically , the mountain range consists essentially of granite . The history of its orogeny begins in the Precambrian about 750–800 million years ago - almost 20% of the earth's history is covered by the mountains, which only applies to a few of the still existing rump mountains . The Selb-Wunsiedler plateau is often interspersed with basalt cones .
