The Heidenberg is a 420 meter high mountain in the southeastern Wasgau , as the southern part of the Palatinate Forest is also called together with the northern part of the Vosges . The north flank is on the district of Busenberg , the south flank on that of Erlenbach bei Dahn .
Is at its west slope with the book Rock chamber a striking rock formation, a putative Burg point is in the in a direction perpendicular sloping mountain nose consisting of inaccessible rock chambers ( book chambers o. Heide chambers called). The rock chambers are first documented in 1635, where they are described as prisons. This function is just as questionable as the thesis that they would have served the residents of Drachenfels Castle as an additional observation post.
