ケルツェンハイムの絶景の山頂・トップ6

Original and fitting for the hill's name

This impressive rock on the Leininger Burgenweg actually looks a bit like a camel's head.

"The border between the Freinsheim collective municipality [south; you can see that from the 2 benches] and Grünstadt-Land [north] runs above the Kieskautberg."

Origin of name according to Wikipedia: The mountain was originally called “Spießberg”. It owes its current name to two tragic events. In 1617, “a dead man” was found on the path and the Ganerben forester ordered the body to be buried on the spot. In 1787, below the mountain, in the Langental (Zwingweiler desert), “a dead man was found and is actually still lying on the blaz”. An administration examined the body and determined the cause of death to be a stroke. The dead man was a shepherd named Christoph Vollmar from Carlsberg. Popularly known as this for a long time, Bavarian maps from the period after 1830 definitively identify the mountain as the “Dead Man”.

Surprising sight in the Palatinate Forest. Funny staged.

Unfortunately, the view is severely impaired by the foliage of the trees. Maybe the view is better in winter and spring.

In summer unfortunately no view from "above", but nice to walk. Boundary stones from 1838 and 1826 can also be found on this section.

Hm, natural monument is something different for me....
