geography
location
The Hohe Loog rises in the Palatinate Forest-Vosges du Nord Biosphere Reserve and the Palatinate Forest Nature Park . Its summit is 3.6 km southwest of the center of Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, 3.2 km west-northwest of Diedesfeld and 4 km northwest of Maikammer ; 1.7 km away in the southwest, the Kalmit ( 672.6 m ) rises up as the highest Haardtberg .
To the north, the Hohe Loog drops into the Kaltenbrunner Valley . To the east is the Hohe Loog plain ( 583.4 m ), which is almost 2 km² in size. The north-east shoulder of the mountain is the Rutschsteinberg and the south-east foothills of the Rittersberg ( 531.8 m ) with an atonement cross that merges into the Schlossberg ( 379.2 m ) with the Hambacher Schloss . The south-south-east spur is the summer side ( 540.8 m ) with the south-south-east foothills of the Sommerberg ( 501.9 m ) on the other side . In the southwest, the Zwergberg ( 589.3 m ), which merges to the north into the Sternberg ( 511.3 m ), forms the connection to the Kalmit over the Hahnenschritt pass ( 554 m ).
Parts of the Haardtrand bird sanctuary extend to the southwest flank of the Hohen Loog (VSG no. 6514-401; 147.28 km²).
geology
The surface of the Hohen Loog is formed by layers of red sandstone : in the lower and middle layers there is lower red sandstone (Rehberg and Schlossberg layers ) and in the summit area middle red sandstone (Karlstal rock zone). The rocks are 251 to 243 million years old.
Natural allocation
The Hohe Loog 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 . Looking at the internal structure of the natural area , the Hohe Loog 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 Hohen Loog 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
