Not many people even think that Hong Kong has a Geo National Park. yes it does. In 2014, Hong Kong issued a set of definitive stamps illustrated various Geo-landscapes. I dont have the full set, still missing a few. The one that I like the most is this one. I went to visit it years ago. The bus took you to the nearby town then called a taxi to get closer. After that, a long walk to the destination. Amazed by the power of nature!

On July 14, 1994 Germany issued a set of four, 100 pf stamps as part of its 1993-6 "Pictures from Germany" series of 15. All of the stamps of this series have a similar look because they were designed by Heinz Schillinger. One of the stamps from this set, Michel #1743, shows a view of the Ore Mountains (Ger: Erzegebirge) in southern Saxony, bordering Bohemia.

From Wikipedia, The area played an important role in contributing Bronze Age ore, and is the setting of the early modern transformation of mining and metallurgy from a craft to a large scale industry, a process that preceded and enabled the later Industrial Revolution."
