MORAVIAN GATE
'Moravian Gate' (, , ) is a geomorphological feature in Moravia, Czech Republic. It forms the depression between the Western Carpathians and Eastern Sudetes, and the watershed between upper Odra and BeÄva rivers.
It stretches from Moravia to the direction of Silesia north-eastward in the length of about 65 km. It is bordered by the confluence of Olza and Odra rivers in the north.
Moravian Gate forms from the ancient times the natural pass between Sudetes and Carpathians. Here ran the most important trade routes from southern Europe to the Baltic Sea (e.g. Amber Road), and also routes from Lesser Poland to Czech lands. The most important city in the Moravian Gate today is Ostrava. Near the northern end of the gate, in Poland, are located two towns, Racibórz and Wodzisław Śląski.
