The 'Üechtland' is a region in western Switzerland, where the cities of Berne and Fribourg are located.
The name for the region is obsolete; today, it's only used to distinguish Fribourg () from Freiburg (or ''Freiburg im Breisgau'') in Germany.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 Berne, is distinguished from Verona in Italy (known in German historically as ''Bern'', and sometimes as ''Wälsch-Bern'' or ''Welschbern'' to distinguish it from Berne in Switzerland).
