Doupov Mountains
Open-knowledge reference entry
Doupov Mountains (Czech: Doupovské hory, German: Duppauer Gebirge) is a Cenozoic volcanic mountain range with the typical structure of stratovolcano. The centre of the stratovolcano was in the place of a former town of Doupov.
The highest mountain is Hradiště (934 metres), the lowest point is by the river Ohře near Kadaň (cca 275 metres).
In 1945, most of the German population was expelled so that Doupov Mountains became almost completely unpopulated. It became an Army Training Area in 1953, and currently serves this purpose for NATO forces.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Doupov Mountains” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 17, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q1266609. VIAF identifies the subject as 240134995. Authority coordinates are 50.250, 13.000. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1945 and 1953.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
