The Weiden basin is a natural subunit in the northern Upper Palatinate hill country . The Weidner basin is one of the Northeast Bavaria on the southwestern edge of the Bohemian Massif located Permokarbonvorkommen . The Weiden Basin consists of the Weiden Bay in the southeast and the Erbendorfer Trog in the northwest.

Natural allocation and structure

The Weiden basin is a subordinate natural area in the north of the Upper Palatinate hill country .

Since sheet 154/155 Bayreuth of the single sheets 1: 200,000 for the manual of the natural spatial structure of Germany has not been published, there is no detailed breakdown for the northern part of the Upper Palatinate hill country . However, the Weiden Basin is regularly mentioned in relevant specialist literature as a natural area.

Natural sub-units:

Weidener Bay
Erbendorfer trough

geology

The Rotliegend sediments of the Weiden Basin were created in a desert climate from the erosion debris of the Variscan Mountains following the tropical to subtropical Carbon Age in which extensive swamp forests were to be found in the area of the Weiden Basin.
