Central Saxon Loess Hill Country
The Central Saxon Loess Hill Country, also called the Central Saxon Loess Hills is a natural region in central Saxony.
It is bounded in the south to an extent by the Tharandt Forest. In the west the Freiberger and Zwickauer Mulde merge into the Mulde. The region is characterized by loess deposits from the ice age. On the plains there are virtually no woods. These are to be found exclusively on the valley slopes of the rivers. The Central Saxon Loess Hill Country is of great importance for agriculture, e.g. for growing vegetables and fruit.
