Black Forest National Park
Forested ridges and moorland tarns on the northern Black Forest crest in Baden-Württemberg
The park follows the main crest of the Northern Black Forest, with summits above 1,000 m, tarns such as Wildsee and Buhlbachsee, and the headwaters of the Murg. The former areas around Ruhestein and Hoher Ochsenkopf/Plättig were joined into one connected park by the 2026 extension.
