Hochwald (Czech Hvozd) is a mountain on the border of Saxony in southeastern Germany and Bohemia in the Czech Republic. It is at 749.5 meters above sea level, one of the highest in the Lusatian/ Zittau ranges, directly on the Czech/German border. It has two peaks, the southern main summit (through which the state border extends), which lies 743.8 meters above sea level, and the north summit, which is 370 meters away. Due to the visually appealing views from the mountain, it has earned the nickname Aussichtsturm des Zittauer Gebirges (lit. Lookout Tower of the Zittau Mountains).
The Hochwald is a hill ridge, up to 508 metres high, in the North Vosges in the French département of Bas-Rhin near Wissembourg (German: Weißenburg). Topographically it represents the northernmost part of the Vosges mountains. To the north is the valley of the Lauter, which is both the border between France and Germany (state of Rhineland-Palatinate) and also the boundary between the (North) Vosges and the Palatine Forest (specifically the Mundat Forest).
