OberlausitzNord

OberlausitzNord is a sub-region located in the northeastern part of Upper Lusatia, Germany, within the state of Saxony. It is characterized by its predominantly rural landscape, interspersed with forests, agricultural land, and smaller towns. The region is part of the broader historical area of Lusatia, which has a rich cultural heritage, including the Sorbian minority.

Geographically, OberlausitzNord is situated north of the central Upper Lusatian hill country and borders Poland to the east. The Spree River flows through or near parts of this area, contributing to its natural scenery. The economy of OberlausitzNord has historically been linked to agriculture and, in some areas, to former industrial activities, though it has seen shifts in recent decades.

The region's cultural identity is influenced by its German and Sorbian heritage. Traditional customs, architecture, and languages can still be found, particularly in the more rural communities. Tourism plays an increasing role, with visitors drawn to the natural landscapes, historical sites, and opportunities for outdoor recreation such as cycling and hiking. Major towns and administrative centers within OberlausitzNord serve as hubs for local services and commerce. The area is connected by a network of roads and has rail links providing transport to larger cities.
