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.
