We present a semiclassical model for plasmon-enhanced high-harmonic generation (HHG) in the vicinity of metal nanostructures. We show that both the inhomogeneity of the enhanced local fields and electron absorption by the metal surface play an important role in the HHG process and lead to the generation of even harmonics and to a significantly increased cutoff. For the examples of silver-coated nanocones and bowtie antennas we predict that the required intensity reduces by up to three orders of magnitudes and the HHG cutoff increases by more than a factor of two. The study of the enhanced high-harmonic generation is connected with a finite-element simulation of the electric field enhancement due to the excitation of the plasmonic modes.
