Teufelskopf

Teufelskopf, Mountain summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Teufelskopf is a 695 m high elevation in the Irrwald, part of the Schwarzwälder Hochwald in the Hunsrück, rising between Waldweiler, Wadrill and Steinberg near the border of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. Its summit lies in the Waldweiler district, 1.7 km northeast of the Schimmelkopf and 1.4 km southwest of the Mückenbornberg. On the summit stands the disused Teufelskopf transmitter, whose 120 m guyed mast was built in 1962; the whole fenced site is closed to the public. The Wahnbach rises on the east flank, the Burkelsbach on the northwest flank.

The summit's documented history centres on its broadcasting use: the transmitter Teufelskopf was built in 1962, with a 120 m guyed mast carrying two platforms of directional radio antennas. Television broadcasting from the site ceased in 2008. A shorter transmission tower about 100 m east-southeast of the mast is used by Vodafone; the fenced compound is closed to the public.

The name Teufelskopf means "devil's head". The summit lies in the Irrwald, a forest name suggesting a confusing, pathless wood, and the surrounding district is the Schwarzwälder Hochwald. A small chapel stands beside one of the marked trails, and hikers can get route information at the Weiskirchen tourist office.

The marked route from Weiskirchen is a reliable approach; a small chapel stands along the trail. All paths in the area are signposted and suited to hikers and mountain bikers. The summit installations are fenced off and closed to the public; information is available at the Weiskirchen tourist office.

The summit carries the decommissioned Teufelskopf transmitter: a guyed steel mast built in 1962, 120 m tall, with two platforms of directional-radio antennas. Its television service was switched off in 2008. About 100 m east-southeast stands a lower tower used by Vodafone. The fenced site cannot be entered, so the mast is seen from the marked trails.
