Dresden's air quality has improved dramatically since reunification but faces winter challenges from residential wood burning and vehicle traffic on the A4 and surrounding road network. The Elbe valley provides a natural ventilation corridor through the city, while the surrounding Saxon Switzerland sandstone highlands create topographic variation and the Erzgebirge hills to the south partially shelter the city from southerly winds.
