The East Frisian Geest (German: Ostfriesisch-Oldenburgische Geest) is a natural region major unit group (not quite synonymous with a "major region of the third level") in northwest Germany and northwestern Lower Saxony. Its character consists in the very varied juxtaposition of different landscape elements of the Northern Lowlands of which the East Frisian Geest is a part.
