Lower Morava Valley
The Lower Morava Valley (Czech: Dolnomoravský úval; Slovak: Dolnomoravský úval; German: Nieder March Talsenke) is a geomorphological formation (special type of valley) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is formed by the depression in the Western Carpathians (Ždánice Forest, Kyjov Hills and Mikulov Hills) in the west and Bílé Karpaty and Chvojnice Hills in the east. The drainage to the Morava River of the Danube basin runs finally to the Black Sea.
