Mountain ranges
A mountain range is an extended system of connected mountains, peaks, ridges, and intervening highland terrain linked by geography, structure, or geological history. Ranges can span regions and countries and may contain smaller massifs, subranges, plateaus, valleys, and basins. The category represents the broad mountain system rather than any single summit or compact mountain block.

Reservoirs
A curated overview of reservoir sites found within the geographic scope of Saxon Switzerland National Park. This analysis details the presence of managed water bodies and their physical relationship to the park's canyon-like sandstone landscape and surrounding protected areas.
Rivers
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.
