Hessen
Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Hessen is a heavily wooded state in Germany, and several forest regions extend into or are located within its territory:
- Spessart Forest: This region belongs in part to Hessian territory.1
- Odenwald: This wooded upland region is situated mainly within Hessen, with smaller portions extending into the neighboring states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.12
Additionally, the state is characterized by richly wooded uplands, including the Vogels Mountains (Vogelsberg) and the Rhön mountains, which are covered by beeches and conifers. The Kellerwald-Edersee National Park is also noted for its extensive beech-covered hills.1
