Bell horn

The Glockenhorn is a 381  m high mountain in the Palatinate Forest in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate . It is located in the southeast of Hinterweidenthal in the municipality of Hauenstein .

The mountain extends as an elongated ridge for about two kilometers in a northwest-southeast direction. While the summit area is mainly covered by deciduous forest, coniferous forest dominates the slopes of the Glockenhorn. The juxtaposition of these sparse forests with the grassland south of the mountain is considered to be ecologically valuable, for example one of the few occurrences of the turning neck is in the region. A circular path leads around and on the Glockenhorn, which is ideal for hiking and mountain biking .
