The Lower Morava Valley (; ; ) is a geomorphological formation (special type of valley) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
It is formed by the depression in the Western Carpathians (à ½dánice Forest, Kyjov Hills and Mikulov Hills) in the west and BÃÂlé Karpaty and Chvojnice Hills in the east. The drainage to the Morava River of the Danube basin runs finally to the Black Sea.
It includes the low watershed of the Dyje-Morava in Lanà ¾hot.
The Lower Morava Valley is a nordest part of the Vienna Basin (Western Carpathians) and the corridor to Napajedla Gate, Upper Morava Valley, Moravian Gate and later in the final goal, the North European Plain (Poland- Lower Silesia â Galicia) since ancient times. Here ran one arm of the most important trade routes from southern Europe to the Baltic Sea (e.g. the Amber Road â eastern branch) and also routes from Moravia to Upper Silesia and Lesser Poland. The Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway (one part) built in 1840âÂÂ41 from Bà Âeclav (Vienna) to Pà Âerov also traversed the Lower Morava Valley.
The Morava and Thaya rivers, Myjava (river), Chvojnice, Trkmanka, Kyjovka as well among others, finish here in their floodplains.
The largest towns in Lower Morava Valley are Bà Âeclav, HodonÃÂn, Uherské Hradià ¡tÃÂ, Staré MÃÂsto, Dubà Âany, and StrÃ¡à ¾nice.
Soil horizon â mainly sand, fluvisol and loess, partly chernozem.
