The České středohoří, Central Bohemian Uplands[1] or Central Bohemian Highlands[2] is a mountain range located in northern Bohemia, the Czech Republic. The range is about 80 km long, spanning from Česká Lípa (northeast) to Louny (southwest) and from Litoměřice (south) to Děčín (north), intersected by the river Elbe. The mountains are of volcanic origin, with distinctively sharp solitary peaks.
České středohoří is a nature reserve (Czech: Chráněná krajinná oblast (abbr. CHKO), and the D8 motorway connecting Prague and Dresden traverses the mountains. This led to a number of controversies, but despite them the motorway was after many delays finally completed in December 2016.
In the development of the game ARMA 2 data of this area was used to create the landscape for the game.[citation needed]
