The Kamelkopf near Altleiningen is a rock made of red sandstone. It is surrounded by smaller rocks at a height of 375 meters on the Kupferberg in the Palatinate Forest. The name of the approximately six-meter-high rock comes from the striking camel head shape pointing to the northeast. The formation, which is divided into numerous layers, contains the pebbly quartz inclusions typical of the Lower Red Sandstone. Hikers can reach the Kamelkopf from the car park on Höninger Hauptstraße in half an hour.
