Borovský les - Unnamed Road

Borovský les is a natural area of ​​highland character in the range of altitudes 470 to 783 m, in terms of regional division of the shape of the Czech surface (georelief) delimited by the boundaries of the geomorphological district with an area of ​​114.39 km² in the northern part of Žďárské vrchy, part of the geomorphological unit Hornosvratecká vrchovina. I recommend as an area for hiking and other outdoor activities, cycling, horseback riding and in designated places also rock climbing, in the winter with plenty of snow and for winter sports (cross-country skiing, downhill slopes). In terms of administration, the area is situated in the districts of Chrudim and Svitavy belonging to the Pardubice Region and in a narrow strip in the cadastral areas of Svratka, Česká Cikánka, Česká Křižánka and Česká Milova in the district of Žďár nad Sázavou belonging to the Vysočina Region. The geographical name is derived from the Borovský les forest, an extensive forest massif between the villages of Borová (hence the name of the forest) and Svratouch, the locality is typical for a georelief of a mostly wooded hilly landscape. The natural area has an irregular shape, longitudinally oriented northeast - southwest (approx. 14 km) between the localities Borka (cadastral area Proseč u Skutče) - Four-stick black rocks (cadastral area České Milovy), narrowed in the central part between Borová and Pusta Kamenice (approx. 5 km). In the northwestern part, the width of the area is about 11 km (Česká Rybná - Široký Důl) and also between the edge of the village Krouna (forest above the locality Olšiny) and the village Březiny u Poličky (locality Lísek). The lowest position is located at the level of the river Novohradka at an altitude of 470 m at the inlet to the Vranické valley (in the nature reserve Maštale, cadastral area Proseč u Skutče), on the border with the natural area Novohradská stupňoviny. The altitude rises above sea level from the north (the town of Proseč) towards the southwest, to the line between the villages of Svratouch - Březiny. The highest positions are reached on a massive wooded ridge with the highest point Karlštejn (783.4 m) on cadastral area. Svratouch, the highest point of the terrain lies a few meters southwest of the trigonometric point, at an altitude of 784 m according to the contour map. From the top of Karlštejn the ridge descends slightly to the southeast, to Bubnovany Hill (780 m), from there to the east a short ridge between Holý vrch (748 m) and Rybenský perničky (748 m), in this line there is a red marked hiking trail. From Bubnovaný Hill, the ridge also continues to the south, with the peaks of Milovská pernička (757 m) to Čtyři palice (733 m). The saddle below Bubnovaný Hill is separated by a short blind ridge with a rocky promontory, a group of rocks called the Petrified Castle (peak 765 m above sea level). The geological bedrock consists of rocks of the Polička crystalline rocks (Proterozoic), the middle part of the Kutná Hora and Svratka crystalline rocks (Paleozoic to Proterozoic) and the southern part mainly of migmatite and orthorhombic in the Bohemian Massif system. In the locality Bukovina above the village Borová, southeast of the top Žižkov, deep magmatite Paleozoic (granite). The ridge of the natural area at the highest altitudes is crossed by the road I / 34 in the section Krouna - Borová, cadastral area Františky highest point Velké paseky (713 m), see category: Mountain top. Velké paseky (713 m) and road I / 34 naturally divide the area into tourist localities northeast of the peak (to Proseč u Skutče) and to the southwestern part with the Borovský les forest to Pustá Rybná, the third locality is the highest ridge with the peaks of Karlštejn to Čtyřpaličatých černých rocks and the fourth village Svratouch with Otava hill (735 m) and surroundings. The southwestern part is covered by the Protected Landscape Area Žďárské vrchy. Many top parts of short ridges have rock ascents, mostly in a specially protected area of ​​natural monuments Čtyři palice, Milovské perničky, Rybenské perničky, Zkamenělý zámek (see category: Nature reserve). Touristically attractive, marked routes of the Czech Tourists Club, educational trails.
