The Baar is composed of several types of landscape. In the west is Baarschwarzwald (the Black Forest), in the center Baarhochmulde (a marshy area), in the south the Wutachland around the Wutach river, and in the east the Baaralb, a low area with buttes of the Swabian Alb like the Hohenkarpfen and the Lupfen, which is the highest point in the Baar at 977 metres.
