geography
location
The pigeon head is located in the Palatinate Forest-Vosges du Nord biosphere reserve and in the Palatinate Forest Nature Park . Its peak rises 3.7 km west of the village church of Diedesfeld , a district of Neustadt an der Weinstrasse , 100 m southwest of Landesstrasse 515 ( Kalmithöhenstrasse ) and 525 m (as the crow flies ) northeast of the Kalmit summit. Like the Breitenberg ( 545.2 m ), the Wetterkreuzberg ( 400.7 m ), the Hüttenberg ( 620.1 m ) or the Kanzel ( 531.7 m ), the Taubenkopf belongs to the foothills of the Kalmit massif ( 672.6 m) ).
Natural allocation
The pigeon head 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 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 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 pigeon head 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
various
Before a storm damage and the subsequent logging work, the summit was shaped like a pigeon's head. The clear cutting results in a 270 degree view from west (into the Palatinate Forest), north ( Hohe Loog ) over west (Klausental, Sommerberg and the Rhine plain). only a few other elevations of this height with a lack of forest are advanced so far in the direction of the Rhine plain.
hike
About 20 meters in altitude below the Taubenkopf, directly on Kalmitstrasse, there is a junction of several hiking trails. These are the path from Totenkopf via Hahnenschritt (blue-white marking), the Maikammer main hiking trail (white-green) and the Hinkelsteinpfad between Klausental and Diedesfeld (without colored marking).
