Natural Conditions of Trenčín Region
Trenčín District is quite mountainous, covered by oak, hornbeam, beech and spruce forests. It is mostly covered by brown forest soils, rendiznas in the limestone areas and flood-plain soils along the water courses. Volcanic mountain range Vtáčnik and Žiar Mountains reach deep into its territory. White Carpathians and Javorníky flysch mountain ranges line the district on the West; the South is lined by Little Carpathians and Myjava Upland. Hornonitrianska Basin and Danubian Upland are separated by mounds of Považský Inovec. Climatic conditions are quite various due to significant altitude differences. Uplands and lower situated parts of the Trenčín District fall in the warm climate zone and mountain ranges into the temperate and colder ones.
