What types of trees cover Hessen’s highlands?

The highlands of Hessen are primarily covered by forests of beeches and conifers.1

Specifically, the region is well known for its beautiful beech and oak forests, particularly in the upland areas near Darmstadt and within the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park, which features hills covered in beech trees. In the Taunus range, the hills are generally well-wooded with beech trees and some pine plantations. While the Central German Uplands are traditionally the domain of the beech, many of these trees have been replaced by spruce in the higher elevations.123
