    It seems that hikers rarely end up here... you won't be able to find a rest bench in the area... too bad

      Beautiful vantage point on a rock, which can be easily reached via 2 ladders.
      From here you can see, for example, the nearby Wegelnburg.

        The Kuhnenkopf is a 530.9 m high mountain in the southern Palatinate Forest, offering wonderful views of the Palatinate Forest. As part of the Westwall (Westwall) built before World War II, there was an observation post dug into the summit rock on the Kuhnenkopf, partially covered with a concrete roof. The opening provided space for one person tasked with monitoring French activities in the Litschbach Valley. Today, concrete remains can still be found at the opening, which is now covered with a grating.
