Üechtland
Regions of Switzerland
The Üechtland (German: [ˈyːəçtland], Swiss German: [ˈyə̯ɣ̊d̥lɒnd̥]), alternatively spelled Üchtland and Uechtland, is a region in western Switzerland, where the cities of Bern and Fribourg are located. The French name Nuithonie is rarely used. The name for the region is obsolete; today, it is only used to distinguish Fribourg (German: Freiburg im Üechtland) from Freiburg (or Freiburg im Breisgau) in Germany.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 Latinized name for Bern, is distinguished from Verona in Italy (historically known in German as Bern and sometimes as Wälsch-Bern).
