Sachsenwald
Germany
The Sachsenwald (German pronunciation: [ˈzaksn̩valt]) is a forest near Hamburg, Germany. The forest derives its name, which can be translated as Saxon woods or Saxony forest, from being located in the former Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg, which itself is a part of the greater Lower Saxony region as defined by the former Duchy of Saxony. Today, the forest is an unincorporated area in the district of Herzogtum Lauenburg (Duchy of Lauenburg) in Schleswig-Holstein. It is also a member of the amt Hohe Elbgeest, in which it has nonvoting representation. The Sachsenwald has an area of 68 km2 (26 mi2) and is the largest contiguous forest area in Schleswig-Holstein. Large parts of the forest belong to the House of Bismarck since 1871, who still have their headquarters at Friedrichsruh Castle on the edge of the Sachsenwald.
