The Hohes Holz (literally: "High Wood") is the only large wooded area in the otherwise open, agriculturally intensively-farmed western part of the Magdeburg Börde in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. The region forms the southern part of a ridge that runs from the Lappwald in the north to the Bodeknie near Oschersleben (Bode). This ridge is bordered in the northeast by the Upper Aller. Three of the Aller's source streams rise on the northern slopes of the Hohes Holz. The highest elevation in the Hohes Holz is the ''Edelberg'' at . The Bode, flowing a few kilometres to the south, is only about 80 m above sea level. Politically the region of the Hohes Holz belongs to the municipalities of Ausleben, Eggenstedt, Stadt Oschersleben (Bode) and Wormsdorf im Börde district. These hills, designated as a protected area, extend over about . In the middle of this mainly beech covered region there are of nature reserve. Amongst the numerous species of wild flower in the Hohes Holz are the ''Anemone''s, liverwort, woodruff, ''Primula'', lily of the valley, Gentian, hyacinths and several orchids (lady orchid, heath spotted orchid and bird's-nest orchid). The fauna of the region includes the buzzard, red kite, goshawk, sparrowhawk and grey heron as well as fox, weasel, marten, red squirrel and badger.
