Žďárské Vrchy Highland - Geomorphological Landscape in the Top Part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highland with the Unique Crystalline Rocks Forms
Original language description
Žďárské vrchy Highland is built by metamorphic rocks and is situated in the upper part of Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. A typical feature of Žďárské vrchy is the occurrence of isolated groups of rocks or rock formations (walls, towers, small rock cities), which dominate on flat upland ridges. These ridges are separated by open valleys with flat headwaters. Rock formations are limited by vertical walls and often significantly protrude above the surrounding landscape, occasionally reaching heights well above 30 m, although 15 m is the typical height value. The Žďárské vrchy Highland is a part of the Protected Landscape Area Žďárské vrchy and many rock formations were declared as natural monuments. Landforms of the Žďárské vrchy Highland have originated through polygenetic development since the Cretaceous and are in many ways unique within the highlands in the Hercynian Europe.
