The Saxon Highlands and Uplands ((ドイツ語:Sächsisches Bergland und Mittelgebirge)) refer to a natural region mainly in the south of Saxony with small elements also in southeast Thuringia and northeast Bavaria. It comprises, from (south)west to (north)east, of the Vogtland, the Ore Mountains, Saxon Switzerland, the Upper Lusatian Plateau and the Zittau Hills. The amalgamation of several major geographical units by the working group for ''Ecological balance and Regional Character'' at the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig, that includes a break-up of the old natural region of ''Oberlausitz'', has not been fully recognised officially, because this division has not yet been accepted by federal authorities like the Bundesamt für Naturschutz (BfN), but does broadly follow the logic of other groupings such as that of the Thuringian-Franconian Upland which border it to the west and includes the Thuringian Forest, Thuringian Highland, Franconian Forest and Fichtelgebirge. Whilst the Thuringian-Franconian Upland, like the adjacent Upper Palatine-Bavarian Forest run from northwest to southeast, these low Saxon mountains generally run from west-southwest to east-northeast. The Vogtland, whose German section lies mainly in the natural region in the Free State of Saxony that gives it its name, forms the actual link to the Thuringian-Franconian Upland. The new internal subdivisions of the Ore Mountains have since been adopted by the BfN. == Natural sub-divisions == The following list shows the current division of natural regions. Main geographical units according to Meynen and the BfN are shown with an asterisk ( *). * Saxon Highlands and Uplands * * 41 (=D17) Vogtland * (partly in Thuringia) * * * 410 East Thuringian-Vogtland Plateau * * * 411 Middle Vogtland Peak District * * * 412 Upper Vogtland * * * * Elstergebirge * * 42 (=D16) Ore Mountains * * * * Western Ore Mountains * * * Middle Ore Mountains * * * Eastern Ore Mountains * * 43 (=D15) Saxon-Bohemian Chalk Sandstone Region * * * * 430 Saxon Switzerland * * * 431 Zittau Mountains (German part of the Lusatian Mountains which also stretch into the Czech Republic) * * to 44 (=D14) Mountainous part of ''Upper Lusatia'' * * * * 441 Upper Lusatian Plateau 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「Saxon Highlands and Uplands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
