Schwarzwälder Hochwald

The Schwarzwälder Hochwald (German pronunciation: [ˈʃvaʁtsvɛldɐ ˈho:xvalt]; literally 'Black Forest High Forest'), not to be confused with the High Black Forest, is the high south-western part of the Hunsrück in the German states of Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate.

[2] The Schwarzwälder Hochwald lies within the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park, running roughly from Mettlach in the Saarland to the Erbeskopf in Rhineland-Palatinate.

It lies northwest of Losheim, Weiskirchen, Wadern and Nonnweiler in the Saarland and between Hermeskeil and Birkenfeld and between Thalfang and Idar-Oberstein in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The southeastern part of the Schwarzwälder Hochwald is called the Dollberge.
