The Weidener Bucht is a natural subunit in the northern Upper Palatinate hill country . The Weidner Bay is one of the Northeast Bavaria on the southwestern edge of the Bohemian Massif located Permokarbonvorkommen . Together with the Erbendorfer Trog , the Weiden Bay is known as the Weiden Basin .
Natural allocation and structure
The Weiden Bay is a subordinate natural area in the Weiden Basin 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 . The Weiden Bay is regularly mentioned as a natural area in relevant specialist literature.
Important places
geography
The Weidener Bucht is bounded in the southwest and in the east by the Upper Upper Palatinate Forest , which is part of the crystalline basement . In the east, the Weidener Bucht is separated from the area of Erbendorf-Vohenstrauß , which is part of the Upper Palatinate Forest, by the Franconian Line . In the south, the Kohlberger ridge borders the Weidener Bucht. The Vordere Oberpfälzer Wald also borders in the southeast. In the north, the permocarbon of the Weiden Bay is submerged under Triassic clastic sediments.
geology
The Rotliegend sediments of the Weidener Bay 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 Weidener Bay.
The Weidener Bucht is cut through by the Naab roughly in a north-south direction, so young alluvial fan sediments are superimposed in the central part by deposits from ancient times.
