Lower Bavarian Upland

The German share of the tertiary hill country engaging sub- Bavarian hill country, often referred to as synonymous or just differing significance of Lower Bavarian hill country, takes up a large part of the area of the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Bavaria, but also includes areas in the north of Upper Bavaria and the south of the Upper Palatinate. Northeast of the lower Bavarian hill country is bordered by the Bavarian Forest, northwest of the Franconian Alb, west of the Danube -Iller -Lech - plate as well as south to south-east of the Isar -Inn- gravel boards that deals specifically in the southeast directly to the valley of the lower Inn followed.

In the natural spatial structure of Germany by the Federal Institute for Regional Studies, the Lower Bavarian hill country was reported as the main unit group (code 06).

In the western part of the lower Bavarian hill country lies the Hallertau, the world's largest hops growing region in the ( south) east, the Lower Bavarian spa triangle.

Delimitation of adjacent landscapes

The two northern neighbor landscapes Bavarian Forest ( Low Mountain Range ) and Franconian Alb ( Southwest German Scarps ) each belong to other major regions 1st to 2nd order.

On the other hand include the landscapes that frame the hill country to the west, south and southeast, also the ( Northern ) Alpine foothills, but consist of Pleistocene river gravels and Altmoränen while the lower Bavarian hill country mainly from sediments of marine and Freshwater and Pliocene river gravels builds. Already the bounding valleys of Lech ( west) and Inn ( south to southeast ) differ significantly from those of the local landscape type, which is segmented mainly through the valley of the lower Isar.

Under the Bavarian hills very similar, but separated by the Inn Valley, is the lying on Austrian soil Hausruckviertler mountain and hill country. In the far-reaching to Austria sheet Burghausen the fine structure 1: 200,000 of this eastern part of the tertiary hill country was also numerically as the main unit 065 with sorted.

Under - vs. Lower Bavarian hill country

In 1953, this is the natural area, particularly in the relief described in self-contained sub- Bavarian hill country in the manual of the biogeographic division of Germany, the Federal Institute for Regional Studies.

The term sub Bavaria is called in the big landscape roughly " on the lower reaches of the Danube's right inflows between Lech and Inn ", which is the hill country score better than low- Bavarian hill country as Lower Bavaria is a government district and the lower Bavarian hill country also affects the administrative regions of Upper Bavaria and Upper Palatinate.

Although taking into account the term sub- Bavarian hills bounding this the Landschhaft treated appropriately, today the term Lower Bavarian hill country is at least as frequent and mostly found in synonymous meaning - in particular, it refers to a Bavarian tourist region that is not limited to Lower Bavaria.

Nevertheless, the term Lower Bavarian hill country explicitly ( and other parts excluding ) may, depending on the reference, refer to the Lower Bavarian part of the hill country.

Nature regions

What follows is divided the lower Bavarian hill country ( divided from west to east, and secondarily from north to south; important places depending listed below the double-digit main unit ):

• 06 Among Bavarian hill country 063 Donaumoos Neuburg on the Danube, Ingolstadt

• Regensburg, Mallersdorf- Pfaff mountain, Straubing

• Aichach, Schrobenhausen, Oberpfaffenhofen, Dachau, Main Castle, Pfeffenhausen, Rottenburg, Ergoldsbach

• Landshut, Dingolfing Landau

• Vilsbiburg, Eggenfelden, parish churches, Triftern, Bad Birnbach, Bad Griesbach, Ortenbourg

The lying entirely on Austrian soil units 065 and 066 have been introduced only in 1979 on leaf Burghausen the fine structure on the leaf area is at least 065 to just under half of his. The Hausruckviertler mountain and hill country as Upper Austrian rich -driven part of the tertiary hill country also provides the natural south-eastern continuation of the lower Bavarian hill country dar. On the other set the Traun -Danube Enns gravel drives the Isar -Inn- gravel boards to the east continued, and would so far actually einzunummerieren under 05 have been.

The Lower Isar valley of the Isar River separates the south ( east ) s located Isar -Inn- hills away from the Danube River Isar Hill Country in the northwest, which in turn is separated by the Danube valley at the old Bavarian Donaumoos of the Franconian Alb. On the northeastern Dungau is on the right Donauaue.

The western border of the Danube -Isar hill country to the Danube -Iller -Lech - plate extends to just before the valley of the Lech, its southern border with the Isar -Inn- gravel boards will follow in the Valley of the Amper from Dachau to the mouth of the river Isar, whereby the location of the river right Freising is located on the natural area boundary.

The Isar -Inn- hill country meets in the southeast directly to the valley of the lower Inn, which is counted but not added.

Assignment after BfN

The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN ) has summarized the lower Bavarian hill country in a less popular, slight modification of the structure of the Institute for Regional Studies of the Isar -Inn- gravel plates ( 05) to unity D65 Under Bavarian hill country and Isar -Inn- gravel boards. Although this summary provides a compact area, but is not compatible with the natural environment characteristics of both landscapes. According to the Institute for Regional Studies both independent large regions are 3rd order. Finally, ask the Isar -Inn- plates geologically more a - dar. eastern continuation of the Danube -Iller -Lech - Platte - schmächtigere
