Hoher Kopf Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

And we owe it to the formation of the Alps... they press down on the Earth's crust, which couldn't withstand the pressure... and broke apart and was pushed upwards.

We didn't even make it to the Immersberg because we sat on the Rötzenfelsen in the 🌞 for so long and couldn't tear ourselves away - it's sooo nice here. What a magically …

We not only look at the different formations, but also enjoy the view from the plateaus of the rocks.
As our Palatinate vacation is coming to an end and we still have to drive …

The absolute highlight was the Rötzenberg with its view of Trifels Castle and the villages in the valleys ... not to mention the staggered mountain landscape. We did the tour after …
