This park is located in western Germany in the low mountain range of the Hunsrück and is part of the Hunsrück Nature Park. As the sixteenth national park in Germany, it was founded in 2015, one year after the Black Forest National Park, and the area is already a biodiversity hotspot, but is still easy to reach within an hour of Mainz, Trier and Saarbrücken.
