Teutoburg Forest

Germany

The Teutoburg Forest (TEW-tə-burg, Teutoburger Wald [ˈtɔʏtoˌbʊʁɡɐ ˈvalt]) is a range of low, forested hills in the German states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. Until the 17th century, the official name of the hill ridge was Osning. It was first renamed the Teutoburg Forest in 1616 in commemoration of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, which most likely took place at Kalkriese instead.
