The north of the country is occupied by the flat Oberlausitz lake and heath countryside. The middle part is hilly while the south is being coined by the Oberlausitz Highlands respectively the Lausitz Highlands, whose highest peak are situated in the Zittauer Mountains.

The most important elevations and mountains of the Oberlausitz are: Lausche (793m), Oybin (519m), Landeskrone (420m), Löbauer Berg, Czorneboh and Bieleboh. All larger rivers of the
Oberlausitz run from south to north. The Pulsnitz in the west formed in earlier times the border to Saxony. The Spree takes its exit down in the south of the country and runs through Bautzen.

Kamenz and Löbau, with Bautzen in the centre was well suited for agriculture and is still today very fertile.
Senftenberg Lake
image author: Bollmann In the 19th century brown coal was found in the northern Oberlausitz and in the east at both sides of the Neisse and around
Hoyerswerda. Especially open-cast mining destroyed large part of the old cultural landscape. Coal is still open-cast mined in Nochten south of Weißwasser and in the Poland near Turów.

Many of the old brown coal open-cast mines were re-cultivated in the 70s, whereby after 1990 the importance was especially on redevelopment of the old industrial landscape. The newly created and still arising lakes are already called "Lausitzer Lake District".
