FRANKENWALD

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 17 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRANKENWALD , a mountainous
district
  of Germany, forming the geological connexion between the
Fichtelgebirge
  and the Thuringian Forest. It is a broad well-wooded
plateau
 , running for about 30 M. in a north-westerly direction, descending gently on the north and eastern sides towards the Saale, but more precipitously to the Bavarian plain in the west, and attaining its highest
elevation
  in the Kieferle near Steinheid (2900 ft.). Along the centre lies the watershed between the basins of the Main and the Saale, belonging to the systems of the Rhine and Elbe respectively. The principal tributaries of the Main from the Frankenwald are the Rodach and Hasslach, and of the Saale, the Selbitz.
See H. Schmid, Fuhrer durch den Frankenwald (
Bamberg
 , 1894) ; Meyer, Thurin en and der Frankenwald (15th ed.,
Leipzig
 , 1900), and
Gumbel
 , Geognostische Beschreibung des Fichtelgebirges 'nit dem Frankenwald (Gotha, 1879).
