Homůlka is a hill in the Mohelnice Depression in the eastern Czech Republic. With an elevation of 332.9 m (1,092 ft), it is the highest point of the Mohelnice Depression.[1][2]
Geography
Homůlka lies in the geomorphological unit Rovenská pahorkatina (Rovensko Hilly Land). The summit forms a rounded ridge trending roughly west–east and is located about 0.5 km (0.31 mi) north of the village of Rovensko.[1] The hill is largely agricultural land.[1]
The Mohelnice Depression itself is described as a narrow, elongated depression of the Jeseníky geomorphological subprovince, traversed by the Morava River between the Zábřeh Highlands (Zábřežská vrchovina) to the west and the Hanušovice Highlands (Hanušovická vrchovina) to the east.[2] It is a neotectonic subsidence structure trending roughly SSW–NNE, initiated by block downfaulting during the Pliocene, and filled in large part by thick Pliocene and Quaternary sediments.[2] In the south-western part of the depression, alluvial fans and river terraces are developed, while fields and meadows dominate land cover overall.[2]
Part of the depression's floodplain landscape belongs to the Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Litovelské Pomoraví), and the nature reserve Moravičanské jezero is also associated with the unit.[2]
Geology
Homůlka is built mainly of biotite and two-mica gneisses belonging to the Zábřeh crystalline complex (zábřežské krystalinikum).[1]
