to an apparatus and method for transporting wood in steep terrain, the apparatus including a mobile winch and a mobile transport vehicle which connectable to the winch via a cable and has a chassis. The winch includes a winch drive for winding and unwinding the cable and the transport vehicle includes a travel drive for driving the chassis. The transport vehicle and the winch are connected by a data connection. Further, the transport vehicle includes a sensor for determining a direction of travel relative to the cable winch and a data processing device is provided which is connected to the travel drive and the winch drive so that, using the data processing device, a cable speed and a travel drive speed can be adjusted in an automated manner depending on a direction of travel of the transport vehicle.
