The East Hesse Highlands ((ドイツ語:Osthessisches Bergland)) describes a heavily wooded range of hills lying mainly in the German state of Hesse, but also extending a little way into Lower Saxony to the north, Thuringia to the east and Bavaria to the southeast. The region is sandwiched between the West Hesse Depression to the west, the Weser Uplands to the north, the Thuringian Basin to the northeast, the northwestern edge of the Thuringian Forest to the east, the Spessart to the south and the Wetterau to the southwest. The East Hesse Highlands forms a natural region (no. 35 or D47) and is both part of the European Central Uplands as well as the Rhine-Weser watershed. It includes the Vogelsberg-Meißner Axis,〔Dickinson, Robert E (1964). ''Germany: A regional and economic geography'' (2nd ed.). London: Methuen, p. 512. .〕 also known as the Hessian Central Uplands,〔Elkins, T H (1972). ''Germany'' (3rd ed.). London: Chatto & Windus, 1972, p. 223. .〕 the East Hesse Depression and the Rhön. The West and East Hesse Highlands together form the ''Hesse Highlands'' and correspond to the geological unit of the ''Hesse Depression'' in its wider sense, because geologically recent layers of Zechstein and Bunter sandstone, and in places even younger Muschelkalk rocks, from the lower Jurassic and Tertiary periods have been preserved here. == Natural divisions == The Hesse Environmental Atlas〔(Map ) and (Description ) of the East Hesse Highlands in the Hesse Environmental Atlas〕 distinguishes the following major geographical units (three-figure numbers): * 35 East Hesse Highlands * *350 Lower Vogelsberg * * * 350.1 Northern Lower Vogelsberg * * * 350.2 Northwestern Lower Vogelsberg * * * 350.3 Eastern Lower Vogelsberg * * * 350.4 Western Lower Vogelsberg * * * 350.5 Southern Lower Vogelsberg * * * 350.6 Giesel Forest * * 351 High Vogelsberg (including Oberwald) * * * 351.0 Western High Vogelsberg * * * 351.1 Eastern High Vogelsberg * * * 351.2 Oberwald * * 352 Fulda Depression * * * 352.0 Fliede Valley * * * 352.1 Fulda Basin * * * 352.2 Großenlüder-Lauterbach Trough * * 353 Vorderrhön and Kuppenrhön (including Landrücken) * * * 353.0 Landrücken * * * 353.1 Western Rhön Foreland * * * 353.2 Kuppenrhön * * * 353.3 Eastern Rhön Foreland * * 354 Hohe Rhön * * * 354.0 Southern Hohe Rhön * * * 354.1 Hochrhön * * 355 Fulda-Haune Plateau * * * 355.0 Ottrau Upland * * * 355.1 Schlitz Land * * * 355.2 Kämmerzell-Hersfeld Fulda Valley * * * 355.3 Haune Plateaus * * * 355.4 Kirchheim Upland * * 356 Knüll Upland * * * 356.0 Western Knüll Foreland * * * 356.1 Eastern Knüll Foreland * * * 356.2 Hochknüll * * * 356.3 Homberg Upland * * 357 Fulda-Werra Uplands * * * 357.0 Neuenstein-Ludwigseck Ridge * * * 357.1 Bebra-Melsungen Fulda Valley * * * 357.2 Solztrottenwald and Seulingswald * * * 357.3 Sontra Hills * * * 357.4 Stölzinger Upland (Stölzinger Hills) * * * 357.5 Witzenhausen-Altmorschen Valley * * * 357.6 Melsungen Upland (including Günsterode Heights) * * * 357.7 Kaufungen Forest (including Söhre) * * * 357.8 Meissen Region (including High Meissner) * * * 357.9 Sontra Upland (including Schlierbachswald) * * 358 Lower Werra Uplands * * * 358.0 Lower Werra Saddle * * * 358.1 Treffurt-Wanfried Werra Valley * * * 358.2 Eschwege Basin * * * 358.3 Sooden-Allendorf Werra Valley * * * 358.4 Witzenhausen-Hedemünden Werra Valley * * * 358.5 Rosoppe-Frieda Bay * * * 358.6 Höheberg * * * 358.8 Neuseesen-Werleshausen Heights * * * 358.9 Sandwald * * 359 Salzungen Werra Highlands * * * 359.0 Stadtlangsfeld Hills * * * 359.1 Salzungen-Herleshausen Werra Valley * * * 359.2 Frauensee Hills 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East Hesse Highlands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
