The Franconian Forest is a charming low mountain range in northeastern Bavaria, characterized by extensive forests, deep meadow valleys, and a long tradition as a hiking region. It lies between the Thuringian Forest to the north, the Fichtel Mountains to the southeast, and the Upper Main region to the south. The Franconian Forest Nature Park covers approximately 1,000 km² and is defined by three distinct sections: populated plateaus, large forested areas on the slopes, and deeply incised valleys. The Döbraberg (near Schwarzenbach am Wald) is the highest point at 794.6 m above sea level.
