 Saale Valley, Germany
The Saale rises in the Fichtelgebirge and flows northwest down the slopes of the Franconian Forest and the Thuringian Hills in a winding and deeply indented valley; then, emerging from the hills at Saalfeld, it bears northeast.
The catchment area of the Saale takes in not only the Thuringian Hills and the northern part of the Thuringian Forest, but also the whole of the Thuringian Basin, the Eastern Harz and its foreland, the Vogtland and part of the Saxon Lowland.
The Saale valley is divided into three very different sections: the upper valley as far as Saalfeld; the middle valley in the river's course through the fringes of the Thuringian Basin; and the lower valley in the lowlands below Weissenfels.

Saxon territory was bounded roughly by the sea coast in the north, where not occupied by Frisian speakers, and the rivers Rhein and Ysel in the west, Elbe and Saale in the east, and Lippe and Ruhr in the south.
The language is best attested by documents from the 9th C, most prominently by the so-called H�liand, a story of Christ in 5983 alliterating lines, and the Old Saxon Genesis in 337 lines.
The H�liand, which also shows influence from East Franconian, is of particular interest as a proselytizing document which, while being theologically correct, is couched in terms acceptable to a pre-Christian sensibility of traditional poetics.
