Comment (by lonvia):

 The core problem with the reverse lookup was that natural features like
 mountain ranges shouldn't show up in addresses at all. This has been fixed
 in [changeset:dd18e74/nominatim]. Due to the way reverse lookup is
 implemented, this means that the Black Forest will not show up on reverse
 lookups at all.

 As for the address of the Black Forest itself, that is indeed far too
 specific. I'm thinking to remove all parts of the address whose area is
 significantly smaller than the object itself. But that is a more complex
 change. Title adapted to reflect this second part.
