        The Rötzenberg near Gossersweiler in the Southern Palatinate district of Weinstraße is a 459.1 m above sea level mountain in the northern Wasgau region of the Palatinate Forest. Numerous red sandstone rock formations are found on it.
        The Rötzenberg is located in the Palatinate Forest Nature Park, a typical Wasgau conical hill in the northern part of the Dahner Felsenland and the Wasgauer Felsenland. Its summit rises 1.1 km west-southwest of Gossersweiler, the larger district of the municipality of Gossersweiler-Stein, to whose district the mountain belongs. North of the almost entirely forested mountain rises the Triebborn stream, which drains via the Rimbach into the Queich, a tributary of the Rhine. To the south, the Klingbach stream flows directly into the Rhine plain and flows into the Rhine via the Michelsbach.
        The most important rock formations of the Rötzenberg are the Isselmannsteine on the north side and the imposing Rötzenfels south of the summit, which reaches a considerable height of up to 55 meters. From the rocky plateau, which can be climbed via a hiking trail (Dimbacher Buntsandstein-Höhenweg), there are excellent views to the south over the entire Wasgau region, with the Lindelbrunn ruins in the foreground, as well as to the northeast to the Rehberg, the Ebersberg, the Asselstein, and the Reichsburg Trifels.
        The Rötzenberg can be reached via marked hiking trails from the east, such as the Staudernheim–Soultz-sous-Forêts long-distance trail from Gossersweiler, from the north from Dimbach, and from the south from Lindelbrunn. It is traversed by the "Dimbacher Buntsandstein-Höhenweg" circular hiking trail, which was certified as a premium trail by the German Hiking Institute and inaugurated in 2013.
