Abstract

Landscape evolution, quaternary, analysis of river network, Orlické hory Mts.

Geomorphological analysis suggests that the canon shaped valley of the Divoká Orlice River in the southern part of the Orlické hory Mountains is both epigenetic and of antecedent origin. Findings of morphostructural and climate-morphogenetic relief features enable to ascertain the main stages of the geomorphological evolution of the Zemská brána Gate area in the Late Cainozoic. Its varied landforms originated by denudation and erosion, but they have conspicuous features of morphostructural and neotectonic patterns.
