👉 Elbe Sandstone Mountains in the context of Lusatian Highlands

The Lusatian Highlands or Lusatian Hills (German: Lausitzer Bergland [ˈlaʊzɪtsɐ ˈbɛʁkˌlant] ; Czech: Šluknovská pahorkatina (for the Czech part only); Upper Sorbian: Łužiske hory) form a hilly region in Germany and the Czech Republic. A western extension of the Sudetes range, it is located on the border of the German state of Saxony with the Czech Bohemian region. It is one of the eight natural landscapes of Upper Lusatia.

The Lusatian Highlands are named after the historic region of Upper Lusatia, while the southern Czech portion is also known as the Šluknov Hook. The hills are situated between the Elbe Sandstone Mountains to the west and the somewhat higher Lusatian Mountains and the Zittau Mountains to the east. The source of the river Spree, which runs through central Berlin, is located near the small town of Ebersbach.
