Many thermal springs can be found here, inspiring the establishment of many spa centres in the region, for example Trenčianske Teplice or Rajecké Teplice.
According to geomorphological division, the mountain range is divided into:[1]
Zliechovská hornatina
Nitrické vrchy
Trenčianska vrchovina
Malá Magura
Geologyedit
The Strážovské vrchy Mts. are one of the largest mountain ranges in the Fatra-Tatra Area of Slovakia. Whole mountain range is a Miocenehorst that modifies older Mesozoic nappe structure.[2] Oldest rock form the crystalline core which is eccentrically situated at the southern periphery of the mountain range in two massifs denoted the Suchý and the Malá Magura massifs. Massifs are composed of migmatites, gneisses, amphibolites and granitoid rocks. Crystalline core is overlapped by the Triassic to Lower Cretaceous (Albian) deposits.[3] Two largescale nappe units are overlying the basement and its sedimentary cover. The lower Fatric Unit composed of Lower Triassic to Cenomanian sediments of two types, the Zliechov succession, distinguished by deep marine Jurassic facies and the Belá succession with the shallow marine facies deposited in the same time. Uppermost nappe unit of the nappe structure is called the Hronic unit, with the Carboniferous-Permian extensive volcanosedimentary succession (Ipoltica Group) and Triassic, less often Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous limestones and dolomites (the Čierny Váh, Biely Váh and Bebrava successions).[3] In the NW portion of the mountain range the boundary with the Pieniny Klippen Belt consists of the Manin unit that is probably a frontal element of Fatric unit incorporated into Klippen Belt strike-slip zone.
