Black Mountains (Rhön)

The 2250th highest mountain range in the world

839m

The Black Mountains (German: Schwarze Berge) are part of the High Rhön in Germany, in particular of the Southern High Rhön, which lies south of the Kreuzberg Group and is thus the southernmost part of the High Rhön. Since 1993, most of the region has been protected by the Black Mountain Nature Reserve (Naturschutzgebiet Schwarze Berge), the second largest in Bavaria outside of the Alps, in order to counteract its afforestation by coniferous forest.

Location: Germany.
