Üechtland

The Üechtland is a region in western Switzerland, where the cities of Bern and Fribourg are located.

The name for the region is obsolete; today, it is only used to distinguish Fribourg from Freiburg (or Freiburg im Breisgau) in Germany. However, old documents also mention Bern im Üechtland or Verona im Üechtland, by which Verona, as a Latinised name for Bern, is distinguished from Verona in Italy (known in German historically as Bern, and sometimes as Wälsch-Bern).
