The Black Mountains are part of the High Rhön in Germany, in particular of the Southern High Rhön, which lies south of the Kreuzberg Group and is thus the southernmost part of the High Rhön. Since 1993, most of the region has been protected by the Black Mountain Nature Reserve, the second largest in Bavaria outside of the Alps, in order to counteract its afforestation by coniferous forest.
