The termination of the eastern Variscan belt has been a matter of long-standing debates since it is deeply concealed beneath younger sediments. Its geometry has been addressed by two competing hypotheses of the Variscan orocline and right-lateral strike-slip tectonics. Therefore, a set of new gravity and magnetic maps was compiled for Czechia, Poland and eastern Germany to track Variscan structures in the subsurface. These maps clearly show that the Rheno-Hercynian Suture turns almost 90° east the of the Harz Mts. and continues into Poland toward the ESE. Therefore, our study favours a concept of semi-orocline that terminates in the east against the Brunovistulian Block. The pattern of magnetic and gravity anomalies combined with geological evidence indicates two stages of accretion superimposed in the eastern Variscan belt. The initial W-E convergence led to the formation of NNE-SSW-trending structures that dominate the southern Bohemian Massif. These structures were overprinted by an important N-S shortening event that shaped WNW-ESE oriented features. The latter run parallel to the Baltica margin and dominate the area NE of the Elbe Fault. This is consistent with seismic data showing large-scale underthrusting of the Baltica crust beneath the Variscan belt at a distance of at least 100 km.
