Upper Saxony
It was particularly to distinguish the lands from 'Lower Saxony', a concept which arose later in popular usage (though never enforced) as a term for the original Saxon lands in north and west Germany (where Low German dialects had spread), in what is now the state of Lower Saxony, as well as the adjacent Westphalian region, Holstein and the western part of today's Saxony-Anhalt north of the Harz range (Eastphalia).
Saxon-Bohemian Chalk Sandstone Region
The Saxon-Bohemian Chalk Sandstone Region () is a (relatively small) natural region in south Saxony on the southern border with the Czech Republic. It forms part of the northern perimeter of the Bohemian Massif and comprises Saxon Switzerland, the German part of the "Elbsandsteingebirge" and the Zittau Hills, a small section of the Lusatian Mountains on German soil. Because the boundary between the "Elbsandsteingebirge" and the Lusatian Uplands is on Czech territory, the two natural regions are physically separated.
