geography

location

The Roßberg rises in the Palatinate Forest-Vosges du Nord biosphere reserve and in the Palatinate Forest Nature Park . Its summit rises 1.5 km east of the municipality of Ramberg on the district of 3.7 km (as the crow flies ) to the south-east of the municipality of Burrweiler .

Parts of the Haardtrand bird sanctuary extend to the eastern flank of the wooded Roßberg (VSG no. 6514-401; 147.28  km² ).

Natural allocation

The Roßberg 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 Roßberg 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 Roßberg follows the following system:

  1. Greater region 1st order: Layer level land on both sides of the Upper Rhine Rift
  2. Greater region 2nd order: Palatinate-Saarland layer level land
  3. Greater region 3rd order: Palatinate Forest
  4. 4th order region (main unit): Middle Palatinate Forest
  5. 5th order region: Haardt

Flowing waters

The cold water spring is on the northern flank of the Roßberg , and the Ziegelbach rises on the east side ; both feed the Modenbach flowing north of the mountain . The Ohlsbach rises in the southwest , a small tributary of the Dernbach, which runs through Ramberg to the west of the mountain . The source of the Hainbach , a tributary of the Woogbach, is located on the southeast slope .

Traffic and walking

To the west and north past the Roßberg, the state road  506 leads first in the Dernbach valley and then in the Modenbach valley , which connects Ramberg in the west and Weyher in the Palatinate in the east. At the northern foot of the mountain, below the Meistersel Castle ( Modeneck ruins ; 491.5  m ) in the Modenbach Valley, lies the Modenbacherhof (approx.  307  m ); there branches off from the L 506, the timber house Heldenstein and the northern neighbor Berg Kesselberg ( 661.8  m ) and passing by Edenkoben leading County Road  6 from. Somewhat downstream, the K 58 branches off from the L 506, which runs to Burrweiler. On the summit region there is a small clearing that can be reached from the south via a forest path; there is a high seat .
