Teufelskopf

Teufelskopf is a mountain peak in Rhineland-Palatinate that reaches approximately 700 meters and is covered with dense forest and several hiking trails. The slopes descend gradually and reveal rock formations that hint at the region's geological past.

The area appears in medieval documents as a landmark for travelers passing through this mountainous region. The peak served as a known point of reference for local communities settling in the surrounding valleys.

The name refers to an old local legend about supernatural beings in the region, a story that still circulates among hikers today. These stories shape how people relate to the place, making it more than just a natural landmark.

The mountain is reachable from several hiking routes, with the main ascent starting from a forest parking area. The trails are well marked and vary in length and difficulty, accommodating different fitness levels.

From the summit, you can look out over three different valleys at once, a rare perspective available from very few points in the region. This view connects multiple landscapes into a single visual experience and reveals the geographic diversity of the area.
