Elbe valley

The Elbe valley is most often used as a term for the Elbe valley in which most quarters of Dresden are located. The Dresden Elbe Valley has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005.

There are several other "Elbe valleys", however, including that near the Elbe's source in the Giant Mountains area in the Czech Republic.
