The North Palatine Uplands , incorrectly shortened even Palatinate mountains , is a central mountain landscape in the south of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland . Most of the area belongs to the Palatinate .

Most of the mountainous region, which is part of the landscape (main unit 193) of the Saar-Nahe mountainous region ( main unit group 19), drains north to the Nahe .

location

The North Palatinate Uplands stretches from southwest to northeast. It lies - roughly delimited - between the Saarland city of St. Wendel in the west and the three cities of Bad Kreuznach in the north, Alzey in the east and Kaiserslautern in the south, which are part of Rhineland-Palatinate , although these places themselves are no longer included. To the east it joins the Alzeyer Hügelland , to the southeast the Palatinate Forest , to the west to the south the Kaiserslauter Senke and to the west to the northwest to other parts of the landscape of the Saar-Nahe mountains, reaching the valley of the Nahe in the northwest and north.

The district of Kusel and the Donnersbergkreis have a share in the North Palatinate Uplands . To a lesser extent, it also extends over parts of the districts of St. Wendel , Kaiserslautern , Birkenfeld and Bad Kreuznach .

mountains

Thunder Mountain

Koenigsberg

The North Palatinate Uplands are characterized by numerous hills and valleys, which give the region a strongly varying altitude from around 200 to over 600 m . The highest mountain is the Donnersberg , which at 686.5 m also represents the highest elevation in the Palatinate.

Watercourses

Glan Bridge in Meisenheim

The extreme west of the North Palatinate Uplands drains over the catchment area of the almost 100 kilometers long Blies to the Saar and Moselle . Important rivers in the western and central area are the 90-kilometer-long Glan with its most water-rich tributary Lauter (“Waldlauter”) and the 57-kilometer-long Alsenz . The 116 km long Nahe , into which they flow and which is a left tributary of the Rhine , flows north outside the mountains. The eastern area on Donnersberg is drained by the 43-kilometer Pfrimm , which itself rises in the northern Palatinate Forest, and the 61-kilometer-long Selz . Both flow east into the Upper Rhine .

Surname

Despite its name, the North Palatinate Uplands not only have a share in the northern and (to a lesser extent) western Palatinate , but also in the Rheinhessen region (especially in the Rheinhessische Schweiz ), in the Rhineland (especially the porphyry mountains of Münster am Stein and Kirner Nahewinkel ) and on the Saarland (especially Osterhöhen and Höcherberg ). Sometimes it is popularly referred to as the old world ( dialect the old world ) or the humped world . Sometimes the name Old World (then as a proper name in capitalization) only refers to a remote stretch of land in the transition area between the districts of Kusel and Kaiserslautern, which is bordered by federal highways 420 , 270 and 48 as well as motorways 6 and 63 . The largest municipality there is, depending on the respective delimitation, Nußbach or Obermoschel .

Economy and Infrastructure

Economy and settlement

Old town of Meisenheim

The region is heavily agricultural and has no cities with more than 10,000 inhabitants. Important places are the district towns of Kirchheimbolanden and Kusel as well as, as the seat of association communities , Alsenz , Lauterecken , Meisenheim , Rockenhausen and Winnweiler .

The area is increasingly turning to tourism . In the spring of 2011, the Palatinate High Trail was opened, which runs in the area of the Donnersberg and, at 112 kilometers, is the third longest premium hiking trail in the Palatinate. Other well-known hiking trails are the Remigius and Veldenz hiking trails. They are named after historical objects in the North Palatinate Uplands, the first after the provost of St. Remigius , the second after the county of Veldenz .

traffic

Streets

The Autobahn 6 ( Saarbrücken - Mannheim ) runs several kilometers south and roughly parallel to the low mountain range , the west is crossed by the A 62 ( Landstuhl - Nonnweiler ) and the east by the A 63 (Kaiserslautern - Mainz ). The federal highways 40 (Kaiserslautern – Alzey), 48 ( Winnweiler –Bad Kreuznach), 270 (Kaiserslautern – Lauterecken), 420 ( Ottweiler –Bad Kreuznach) and 423 ( Waldmohr –Altenglan) run through the North Palatinate Uplands.

Railways

The Mannheim – Saarbrücken railway line , which runs parallel to Autobahn 6 in the west, enables the connection to national rail transport. Regional railways are the Glantalbahn , the Lautertalbahn , the Alsenztalbahn , the Zellertalbahn and the Donnersbergbahn . The respective location is evident from their names.

↑ ^a ^b Along with forest cover ^{, the} Bürgerwald merges into the western Donnersbergrandhöhen on the watershed between Appelbach and Wiesbach to the south-west without any significant geological or geomorphological boundary; the actual geomorphological incision is formed by the valley of the Appelbach near Marienthal on state road 386. If one assigns the part of the edge heights north of this valley to the Bürgerwald, its area increases by 13.2 km², while the edge heights decreases accordingly.

↑ ^a ^b ^c The Falkensteiner Valley is commonly assumed to be the north-western boundary of the Falkensteiner Mountains, which also corresponds to the geology. If this limit is taken as a basis, extended to the north by the tree line, the area of the Falkensteiner Mountains is reduced by 1.9 km² and that of the western Donnersbergrandhöhen decreases accordingly. This is taken into account accordingly.

↑ The Kaiserstraßensenke merges into the Dannenfelser Randhügel without a distinctive border - the highest inner elevations of both natural spaces even merge directly into one another. The transition of Dannenfelser edge hill to the southern part of the already for Alzeyer hills counted Bolander edge heights , the only north of Kirchheimbolanden by the 357.8 m high Koppelberg is locked, is fluid, thus reducing the area for more about 10 anwüchse km². If, following the geomorphology, the boundary of the depression to the Middle Pfrim Valley is placed at the narrow point below (= east) Marnheim , this would add another 7 km²; Another 2 km² would be added north of Marnheim from the Ilbesheimer Loessschwelle if the natural border to the Alzeyer Hügelland were moved to the immediate east of the A 63 , which remains on the Bolander edge heights as it continues to Kirchheimbolanden in Easter. The geological eastern border of the Saar-Nahe mountains and the Rheinhessisches Tafel- und Hügelland runs roughly from the center of Marnheim via east of Boland to the center of Kirchheimboland.
