Geomorphology

The Lower Ohře Table is a mesoregion of the Central Bohemian Table within the Bohemian Massif. Typical features of the landscape are relatively intact relief with significant manifestations of neotectonics and relief of Pleistocene river terraces and wide valley floodplains, and tectonic and denudation depressions. The plateau is further subdivided into the microregions of Hazmburk Table, Říp Table and Terezín Valley.
Two prominent hills of neovolcanic origin rise from the flat relief, otherwise there are no significant peaks. The highest peaks of the Lower Ohře Table are:
  • Říp,
  • Hazmburk,
  • V Březinách,
  • Veselá,
  • Draha,

    Geography

The territory has a relatively compact shape, slightly elongated from west to east. The plateau has an area of and an average elevation of. Most of the Lower Ohře Table is located in the Ústí nad Labem Region, only a smaller part in the south extends into the Central Bohemian Region. The northeastern part of the territory overlaps with the informally defined region of Polabí.
The largest river in the Lower Ohře Table is the Elbe, which flows through its eastern part. The axis of the table is the Ohře, after which the region is named.
