Geography

Location

The Breitenberg lies within both the Palatinate Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve and the Palatinate Forest Nature Park. Its summit rises 1.3 km northwest of Sankt Martin and 3 km west-northwest (both as the crow flies) of Maikammer, whose joint territorial boundary runs over the completely wooded hill. Like the Stotz (603.2 m), with which it is linked to the northwest over a gentle saddle (ca. 535 m), the Wetterkreuzberg (400.7 m), the Taubenkopf (603.8 m), the Hüttenberg (620.1 m) and the Kanzel (531.7 m) the Breitenberg is one of the subpeaks of the Kalmit massif (672.6 m)[2]. It is located in an exposed location on the eastern edge of the Haardt, so that it appears as a prominent hill despite its relatively low height above places in the Upper Rhine Plain.

Transport and walking routes

The Kalmithöhenstraße, which runs inter alia past the Kalmit to the Hüttenhohl and is part of the Landesstraße 515 from Maikammer, crosses the highland northwest of the Breitenberg summit. Also northwest of the summit is a car park for walkers. The Breitenberg may be climbed from the Maikammer village of Alsterweiler, from Sankt Martin or from the Sankt Martin valley.

gollark: Trump is arguably one of the most powerful people on Earth.
gollark: Oooo, maybe randomly change single characters in Trump's tweets, that could be neat.
gollark: I mean, depending on what access I had, it might be possible to promote tweets to be seen by significantly more people, which could be interesting.
