Ore Mountains Map
The Ore Mountains are a mountain range across Germany and the Czech Republic, rising to Klínovec at 1,244 m (4,080 ft). This map shows the range on shaded relief, with peaks, rivers, borders and cities.
How to read this map
The highest point of the Ore Mountains is Klínovec, 1,244 m (4,080 ft) above sea level. It extends across Germany and the Czech Republic.
The dashed outline marks the Ore Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Prague, Nuremberg, Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz, Erfurt, Plzeň and Jena.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Ore Mountains come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Ore Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
