The Krkonoše-Jizera Terrane nappe stacking post-dated the Late Devonian according to structural position of the metagranitoid bodies (thrust over the Ještěd Ridge Unit Middle to Late Devonian limestones) and may correspond to Early Carboniferous times. Rheological inhomogenities along boundaries of the metagranitoid bodies and greenschist grade complexes were convenient places ready for initiation and development of the Variscan thrust planes. Access of fluids during the greenschist facies metamorphism made the deformation of metagranitoids more effective due to deformation softening in higher crustal levels. According to this explanation the metagranitoids acted as important horizons for channelling of strain and played an important role during tectonic stacking of the Krkonoše-Jizera Terrane in a regional scale.
