Short characteristics:
This hilly range is constructed mainly with granites, limestones and dolomites. The relief is extraordinary articulated, from hilly countries up to highlands, via uplands to great highlands.
This mountain range is placed in moderately warm and cold climatic area.
Most of the area is covered with forests (mainly beech-woods, oak forests are placed in lower areas, and even pine-trees are to be appeared there). The surfaces were partially deprived of the forests, and consequently changed into fields, meadows or pasture lands.
In 1989, Strážov Hills were declared as Protected Countryside Area, including neighbouring Sulov Hills.
