Lusatian Mountains ( _cs. Lužické hory, _de. Lausitzer Gebirge, _pl. Góry Łużyckie), a mountain range in Sudetes, on the southeastern border of Germany and the Czech Republic, east of the Elbe River, a continuation of the Erzgebirge which lies west of the Elbe. The Lusatians themselves are an extension of the Sudeten mountains of Bohemia and Moravia, and which join the Carpathian Mountains. The adjacent portion in southeastern Germany is called Lusatia.
