The Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park extends over an area of 10,000 hectares over the Hunsrück highlands. The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation already counts the area as a "hotspot region for biological diversity". Rustic forests and a species-rich flora and fauna characterize the picture.
A low mountain range with almost endless forest areas characterizes the landscape and separates it from the surrounding, well-known wine-growing regions, the Moselle, the Rhine, the Nahe and the Saar.
