Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park

Welcome to the jungle of tomorrow!

Serengeti, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Everglades, Galapagos - images of great destinations arise when we read these names. Images of overwhelming natural beauty that are awarded the title of "national park" all over the world. This is how the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation introduces the topic of national parks. The name National Park has become a brand. Nature is given an extraordinary value by the National Park designation.

With the National Park, Hunsrück is now playing in the Champions League of nature conservation. The Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park is only a few minutes away from Marienhöh. A low mountain range with almost endless forest and woodland areas characterize the Hunsrück and thus separate it from the surrounding best wine-growing areas in Germany, the Moselle, the Rhine, the Nahe and the Saar.

The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation already counts the Hunsrück as a "hotspot region for biological diversity". There are only 30 such areas in the whole of Germany. For example, the largest number of wildcats in Europe live here. The wildcat is very shy and needs a lot of peace and quiet. Just like the black stork. Peace and quiet, which the Hunsrück with its long stretched forests already offers. But in addition to nature, the national park also offers a unique connection to cultural-historical relics of the Celts and Romans. Nature and culture: In the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park you can experience both.
