The Hüttenberg near Maikammer in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Südliche Weinstrasse is 620.1 m above sea level. NN high pre-summit of the Kalmit ( 672.6 m ) in the Haardt in the east of the Palatinate Forest . The Hüttenberg sea of rocks lies on top of it .
geography
location
The Hüttenberg is located in the Palatinate Forest-Vosges du Nord biosphere reserve and in the Palatinate Forest Nature Park . Like the Breitenberg ( 545.2 m ), the Taubenkopf ( 603.8 m ), the Kanzel ( 531.7 m ) or the Wetterkreuzberg ( 400.7 m ), it belongs to the foothills of the Kalmit ( 672.6 m ). Fully forested, it is about 950 m (as the crow flies ) southwest of the main summit, to which it is connected by a flat mountain saddle , and west-northwest of that of the Breitenberg. Its northern part with the summit belongs to the Maikammer district , the southern part to that of Sankt Martin .
Natural allocation
The Hüttenberg belongs to the "Palatinate Forest" natural area, which is classified as a 3rd order Greater Region in the systematics of the handbook on the natural structure of Germany published by Emil Meynen and Josef Schmithüsen and its subsequent publications . If you look at the internal structure of the natural area , it 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 Hüttenberg 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
Felsenmeer Hüttenberg
As a special feature of the geology of the Palatinate Forest , the Hüttenberg rock sea is located on the Hüttenberg . The rocks of the block field are made of sandstone that was deposited in the early Triassic . It is mainly attributed to the Karlstal rock zone of the Middle Buntsandstein of the Palatinate Forest. The spectrum ranges from smaller blocks to rock formations around 10 m high. These boulders were created during the cold periods of the Pleistocene , whereby the previously uniform rock layer was broken up into individual rock fragments by frost blasting . These can not only be found on the summit ridge, which runs roughly in a north-south direction and is around 700 m long, but also on the mountain slopes, because during the short thaw phases in the summer months, the masses of debris there , saturated with meltwater , are in motion so that the rock slid down the slope. The Felsenmeer is a popular bouldering area.
Traffic and walking
Along the southern and western slopes of the hut mountain passes from Saint Martin by the Hüttenhohl ( 479 m ) and the saddle skull ( 513.7 m ) to Breitenstein the major road 514 ( skull road ), the northwest below its peak near the Hüttenhohl to 476 , 9 m height, the L 515 ( Kalmithöhenstraße ) branches off over the Kalmithochlagen to Maikammer .
The shortest access to the Hüttenberg can be made from the hikers' car park on the Kalmit in around 15 minutes. Further accesses are possible from the Sankt Martiner Tal from the hikers' parking lot at the managed refuge Haus an den Fichten through the Wolseltal or from the parking lot at the Hüttenhohl . Two hiking trails run over the summit ridge - one directly above and through the Felsenmeer Hüttenberg , the other to the east a little below the Felsenmeer. The start and end point are the Kalmit saddle and the Hüttenberghütte ( 591.2 m ) refuge at the southern end of the ridge , from which you can enjoy a view of the Sankt Martin valley . The Pfälzer Weinsteig Prädikatsweg, which opened in autumn 2010 and was certified in 2011 according to the quality criteria of the German Hiking Association , also crosses the Felsenmeer on its 4th stage and then reaches the wine-growing community of Sankt Martin after a long descent.
