geography
location
The Rotsohlberg rises in the Palatinate Forest-Vosges du Nord biosphere reserve and in the Palatinate Forest Nature Park . Its summit is 2.3 km west of the Kalmit summit ( 672.6 m ), as well as 4.2 km west-northwest of Sankt Martin and 6 km (as the crow flies ) west-northwest of Maikammer , the common boundary of which runs south over the Schafkopf. The Rotsohlberg forms with the Schafkopf ( 616.8 m ) and the Morschenberg ( 608.3 m ) a ridge in the Middle Palatinate Forest on the eastern edge of the Haardt . The ridge is bounded in the northeast between Kalmit and Rotsohlberg by the Hüttenhohl mountain pass ( 476.9 m ), in the north by the Totenkopf mountain pass ( 513.7 m ) and in the southwest, beyond Morschenberg, by the Lolosruhe mountain pass ( 573.8 m ) .
The Enggleisbach rises as a small tributary of the Kaltenbrunnertalbach on the northeast slope of the Rotsohlberg . The Hüttenbach rises as a small tributary of the Kropsbach to the southeast of the mountain . To the west the landscape slopes down to the Argenbach .
Natural allocation
The Rotsohlberg 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 , it belongs to the Middle Palatinate Forest.
In summary, the natural spatial allocation of the Rotsohlberg 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 (large part of the mountain with a summit)
- 5th order region: Haardt (east to south-east flank)
Traffic and walking
The Totenkopfstraße runs east over north to west past the Rotsohlberg . Hiking trails marked by the Palatinate Forest Association lead over the ridge of Rotsohlberg, Schafkopf and Morschenberg from Totenkopf or Hüttenhohl to Lolosruhe , but they do not run over the peaks. Two narrow paths lead to the summit of the Rotsohlberg from the east and south of the marked hiking trail to the summit, some of which are not shown on hiking maps. The shortest access over one to two kilometers can be from the hiking parking lots on Totenkopfstrasse or Kalmithöhenstrasse at Totenkopf or Hüttenhohl.
Others
The Rotsohlberg is completely covered with mixed forest, mainly made of pine and beech . Its summit is marked by a small stone pyramid. To the southeast of the mountain, a forest and meadow area of around 41 hectares was fenced in for use as a grazing project for sand meadow ponds ; there were Heck cattle settled.
