The Dahn landmark with a vertical rock face over 60m high and a pulpit with a cross. Illuminated at night and visible from afar.

The Kuhnenkopf is a 530.9 m high mountain in the southern Palatinate Forest, offering wonderful views of the Palatinate Forest. As part of the Westwall (Westwall) built before World War II, there was an observation post dug into the summit rock on the Kuhnenkopf, partially covered with a concrete roof. The opening provided space for one person tasked with monitoring French activities in the Litschbach Valley. Today, concrete remains can still be found at the opening, which is now covered with a grating.

Nice technical trail. The switchbacks are washed out, but I don't mind having to carry the bike by hand.
