Brno Highlands
The Brno Highlands are a hilly region in the Czech Republic, mainly in the South Moravian Region, with parts reaching into Olomouc and Pardubice Regions. They are part of the Bohemian Massif and are split into three areas: Boskovice Furrow, Bobrava Highlands, and Drahany Highlands. The highest point is Skalky in the Drahany Highlands, at 735 meters above sea level. The Bobrava Highlands are up to 479 meters high, and the Boskovice Furrow is a low valley with an average height around 335 meters (the highest there is 553 meters). The Brno Highlands cover about 1,963 square kilometers and have an average height of about 413 meters.
Rivers such as the Svitava, Svratka, and Jihlava flow through the region. The city of Brno lies partly inside the highlands, and other large towns include Blansko, Boskovice, Kuřim, Ivančice, Letovice, Rosice, and Adamov. The southeast border marks the meeting line between the Bohemian Massif and the Carpathians. The terrain is mainly made of Carboniferous granodiorite and flysch.
