geography

View over Bad Berka in west direction

The area lies between Bad Berka , Hohenfelden , Kranichfeld and Blankenhain and has the shape of a strongly flattened O. It lies within the landscape of the Ilm-Saale- and Ohrdrufer Platte and is clearly demarcated from it. The border runs roughly from Riechheimer Berg in the west to the east to the northern edge of Bad Berka, from there in a south-easterly direction south of the Kaitschberg to about Keßlar and from there turns west towards Blankenhain and Kranichfeld and back to Riechheimer Berg.

Natural allocation

In terms of natural space, the Tannrodaer Waldland is assigned to major regions of the second and simultaneously third (two-digit) and fourth (three-digit) order ("main unit") as follows :

The newer, inner- Thuringian structure The natural areas of Thuringia of the Thuringian State Institute for Environment and Geology (TLUG) are not organized according to main units, but rather more strictly according to the rock in question. Here the woodland under 2.4 is assigned to the red sandstone hill countries (2) .

geology

Geological structure of the Thuringian Basin with the Triassic rocks Keuper (inside), Muschelkalk (edge ​​plates) and red sandstone (outer frame); the Tannrodaer Waldland can be easily recognized by the island-like red sandstone within the shell limestone area in the southeast.

The area forms a red sandstone depression in the Ilm-Saale-Platte , which rises on the outer edge in a clear layer step and reaches heights of 500 meters on mountains such as Riechheimer Berg and Kaitsch . The subsoil consists of middle red sandstone . The area has different reliefs and is richly structured.

flora

The forests consist predominantly of spruce and pine . There are wicker cultures in the Ilm Valley . About 4.37% of the area is designated as FHH protection areas, another 4.37% as bird protection areas and 0.24% as nature protection areas .
