Bobenthaler Knopf, Mountain summit in Pfälzerwald, Germany
The Bobenthaler Knopf rises to an elevation of 534 meters, featuring mixed forests and natural trails within the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany.
In 1485, Knight Hans von Trotha strategically dammed the Wieslauter River at Bobenthaler Knopf, causing flooding in the monastery town of Weißenburg.
Two commemorative stones near the summit mark historical events: Löffelskreuz recalls a 1435 murder, while Eselsschleif indicates where donkeys transported firewood.
The mountain summit is accessible via two state roads, Landesstraße 478 and 492, with designated parking areas available near the primary hiking trail entrances.
The mountain contains a protected wilderness zone of 333 hectares within Naturpark Pfälzerwald, where nature develops without human intervention since 2017.
