Hiking
The Hohe Derst is 561 meters high and is therefore the highest elevation in the southeastern Palatinate Forest. The name of the mountain can probably be traced back to “dorsum” (Latin for “back”).
When the West Wall was built, the northernmost part of the Hohe Derst was included in the defensive line. There were five combat bunkers on the mountain's plateau. In the last months of the war this place was fiercely contested. Is still used today by a mobile phone provider and BOS.
