On the one hand, the name "Black Man" is derived from wooden scaffolding, which served the Napoleonic surveyors as orientation and reference points and later became crooked due to decay and decay. From a distance, they then looked like dark figures (black men). Others see the origin of the name in the nearby historical mining or charcoal burning.

At 697.3m above sea level, the Black Man is the highest point in the North Eifel Nature Park and the third highest in the Eifel.

It is located in the west of the Eifel on the Schneifel ridge, near the border with Belgium.

This mountain range, which extends between Brandscheid and Ormont, in a longitudinal extension of 15 km, with an average width of about 2 km, has only slight height differences.

One of the most beautiful winter sports areas in the Eifel is located on the Schwarzen Mann. About 1.3 km (as the crow flies) northeast of its summit are the mountain stations of two tow lifts at the Zum Schwarzen Mann blockhouse restaurant. There are two 800 m long ski slopes, a toboggan run (450 m) with a lift and a children's toboggan run. If snow conditions and weather permit, two cross-country ski trails (12 and 18 km) are usually groomed through the varied landscape in January and February and cleared over a 5 km long hiking trail in winter.
