České Středohoří
The České středohoří – Central Bohemian Uplands or Central Bohemian Highlands – is a mountain range located in northern Bohemia in the Czech Republic. The range is about 80 km long, extending from Česká Lípa in the northeast to Louny in the southwest and from Litoměřice in the south to Děčín in the north, and is intersected by the river Elbe. The mountains, which are of volcanic origin, have distinctively sharp solitary peaks.
The uplands are a Protected Landscape Area ; consequently, construction through the area of the D8 motorway – part of European route E55 between Dresden and Prague – was very controversial. Despite this, the motorway was finally completed in December 2016.
Geographical data relating to this area were used in the creation of the landscape for the military simulation video game ARMA 2.
