Geography

Moravian Gate on a geomorphical map of the Czech Republic

It stretches from Moravia towards

Olza and the Odra (Oder) rivers in the north. Its crest is located between the villages of Olšovec and Bělotín at 310 m (1,020 ft). Its average altitude is 270 metres (890 ft).[1]

Because of its low altitude, the Moravian Gate has since ancient times been a natural pass between the Sudetes (

Northern Railway built in 1847 from Vienna to Bohumín
also traverses the Moravian Gate.
