Regen Depression

404 the Regen Depression belongs to the Upper Palatine-Bavarian Forest and covers an area of 667 km2.

The Regen Depression is a large region, divided into various basins, at a height of 600 to 700 metres above sea level.

At 800 to 1200 mm per year, precipitation is lower than on the surrounding mountain ranges and temperatures are higher during the growing season.

The area is a wooded, increasingly intensively farmed agricultural landscape characterized by grassland.

The original beech and fir forests have been reduced to small remnants between the farmland and grassland on steeply sloping terrain.
