Natural allocation

The Roßbrunnen 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 . If you look at the internal structure of the natural area , the Roßbrunnen 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

Traffic and walking

To the west and north past the Roßberg, the state road L 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. The best way to get to the source is via the Pfälzer Weinsteig (along with the hiking trails of the Palatinate Forest Association "white bar - black point" and "three castles path"). The shortest route leads south from the Waldhaus Drei Buchen car park (Ramberg) .
