Hostýn-Vsetín Mountains
Hostýnsko-vsetínská hornatina is a mountain range in the Czech Republic.
The mountains are densely forested mainly by secondary spruce plantations. Most visited are the bordering Rožnovská Bečva river valley in the north and the southern Vsetínská Bečva river valley starting in the town of Vsetín with the resort of Velké Karlovice.
The Hostýnsko-vsetínská hornatina Range is a part of the Western Carpathians, it is divided by the Bečva River valley into the lower eastern Hostýnské vrchy and the higher western Vsetínské vrchy which are a part of the Beskydy Landscape Protected Area. They are built mainly of flysch deposits and their high sediments in both Bečva rivers valleys. The flysch slopes are rather unstable and thus small landslides are typical for this area. The highest point is Vysoká, at, in the easternmost part of the range.Resources
