The Blättersberg belongs to the Palatinate Forest natural area, which is classified as a 3rd order Greater Region in the systematics of the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany published by Emil Meynen and Josef Schmithüsen and its subsequent publications . If one considers the internal structure of the natural area , the Blättersberg belongs to the Middle Palatinate Forest and here to the Haardt mountain range, which separates the Palatinate Forest from the Upper Rhine Plain .
In summary, the natural spatial allocation of the Blättersberg follows the following system:
- Greater region 1st order: Layer level land on both sides of the Upper Rhine Rift
- Greater region 2nd order: Palatinate-Saarland layer level land
- Greater region 3rd order: Palatinate Forest
- 4th order region (main unit): Middle Palatinate Forest
- 5th order region: Haardt

Traffic and walking
South past the Blättersberg runs between Ramberg in the West, among others, through the valley of fashion Bach to Weyher in the eastern state road 506. From this road branches west of the mountain in the river valley two streets from: first at about 287 m height, the county road 6, the first west of the mountain up in the Modenbachtal past the Modenbacherhof and Forsthaus Heldenstein and then north past the mountain in the Edenkobener valley down along the local Triefenbach to Edenkoben in the east, and a little below it near the Neuer Brunnen at a height of 255.9 m the southeast K 58 running to Burrweiler . The K 64, which comes from Edenkoben and ends below the Spitzbergel ( 324.7 m ) at Villa Ludwigshöhe , leads to the eastern flank of the mountain .
To get to the summit of the Blättersberg, the visitor has several options. For example, you could first take the chairlift from Villa Ludwigshöhe to Rietburg ( 530.8 m ) and from there follow the hiking trail marked by the PWV with a “blue-yellow line” for about 1.5 km. Walking time about 30 minutes.
Another hiking trail begins at K 6 at the “Hüttenbrunnen” hikers ' car park ( 361.6 m ); its length is about 4 km with a total difference in altitude of 244.2 m. It initially runs with the PWV marking "blue-white line" to Kohlplatz ( 465.9 m ), a saddle between Kesselberg and Blättersberg. From here, with the same marking, follow a narrow forest path in a southerly, later south-westerly direction. It meanders along the west and south-west slopes of the Blättersberg and reaches its summit after about 2.5 km. If you want to continue this tour as a circular hike, you first continue to hike to the Rietburg and then return to the starting point “Hüttenbrunnen” after a total of 9 km with the “red dot” mark.
In addition, there are a number of other shorter or longer hiking options available to visitors in the area of the Blättersberg.
