Geology of Germany clearly set apart from the Alpine foreland, the Northern Limestone Alps form high mountains ("German: ") of well over 2,000 metres above sea level. Of the high mountains of Germany, the highest is Zugspitze, with a height of 2,962 metres, more than a thousand metres higher than Feldberg in the Black Forest, Germany's highest mountain outside the Alps. The Northern Limestone Alps represent a depositional environment that was probably located several hundred kilometres to the south, relative to the current position of the rocks. This is reflected in facies as well as in the fossil record: While in the Eastern
Moos (mountain) Moos (mountain) The Moos is a mountain range in the Central Black Forest in southern Germany. Its highest points are the "Siedigkopf" () and the "Mooskopf" (), actually the "Geisschleifkopf". The Moos is the local mountain or "Hausberg" of Gengenbach and Oppenau.
