Geomorphological divisions

Hi,
thank you for this package. It's very easy to handle, I like it.
I would like to ask if there is a possibility to integrate the Geomorphological divisions (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomorphological_division_of_the_Czech_Republic)? I know that the national parks and forests are already included in the package but this system of divisions is much more broader and applies to the whole country.
Thanks for your kind words! I will look into this.
My original background is social sciences, so my initial focus were the various kinds of admin areas; but the package has found its use in natural sciences as well (more than I originally expected).
A lot will depend on whether I can find an "master" source of the Geomorphological divisions - the Wikipedia article you linked has three different maps - regions, provinces, subregions... Is it just three levels of hierarchy, or are these something different? And if so, is one of the divisions more relevant than others?
There seems to be a reasonably friendly data source available from https://geoportal.gov.cz/ (originally AOPK) in WMS format that is CC-BY-4.0 licensed (= fair game).
I will digest the data & prepare it for a future {RCzechia} release; there is no planned date as yet.

To my knowledge its a hierarchical structure which goes down to level 10. The German version of the wikipedia article includes a table, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomorphologische_Einteilung_Tschechiens
Hopefully, this is useful.
Thank you for the pointer and advice; I was able to get a raw dataset, and will polish it up & prepare the necessary code + documentation for a future release.
A slight inconvenience is that I have a paper on {RCzechia} package under review for https://joss.theoj.org/ and I would prefer not to alter the package functionality too much until the review process is finalized, creating confusion.
The geomorfo() function now provides 8 levels of geomorfo detail - from system (n = 2) down to okrsek (n = 933)
Since I was kind of rushed to release - due to sloppiness in releasing 1.11, sorry for that - I will appreciate a test & a thorough shakedown. Wink wink @ChrisMUC83 ....

@jlacko : I tested the geomorfo-function and everything worked well. Thank you!
Perfect, thank you!
