North French Scarplands
The North French Scarplands is a scarp landscape comprising various highlands and uplands in northern France, eastern Belgium and southern Luxembourg and southwestern Germany. It is separated from the South German Scarplands to the east by the Upper Rhine Graben. To the north it is bounded by the Hunsrück and the Rhenish Massif.
The German part of the region, which is limited to the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, also goes by the less common name of the Saar-Nahe Uplands and Table Land. According to work by the former Federal Office of Regional Planning, it is a 2nd-level major landscape.
The best known and highest low mountain range in the region is the Vosges in northeastern France, which transitions to the north into the Palatine Forest.
