Vogelsberg, Mountain summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Vogelsberg is a 296.7 m high, fully forested mountain in the southern Palatinate Forest, within the Dahner Felsenland. On its west flank lies the Jungfernsprung, a 280 m high rock formation and landmark of Dahn, while the Vogelsbergtürmchen stand on the east side. The summit forms a roughly 1.6 km long ridge with the Lachberg.

The Vogelsberg lies within the Dahn municipal area and, with the 324 m Lachberg, forms a roughly 1.6 km ridge enclosed on three sides by Dahn's housing. A narrow 400 m road crosses the 250 m saddle between the two summits, linking two residential areas. The Jungfernsprung rock on the west flank, 280 m high, is recorded as natural monument ND-7340-185.

The Jungfernsprung, a 280-metre rock on the western flank, is the landmark of the town of Dahn and of the Dahner Felsenland; it is protected as natural monument ND-7340-185 within Dahn's municipal area. Several long-distance trails cross the mountain because of it, among them the Felsenland Sagenweg, the Jungfern-Tour, the Dahner Rundwanderweg and the Pfälzer Waldpfad.

The summit is fully wooded and lies within Dahn's town boundary, so ascents from several starting points in Dahn take little time. A narrow 400-metre road crosses the 250-metre saddle linking Vogelsberg with the Lachberg (324 m) and connecting two residential areas. Long-distance routes such as the Felsenland Sagenweg, Jungfern-Tour, Dahner Rundwanderweg and Pfälzer Waldpfad cross the mountain.

The Vogelsberg is not a volcanic peak: it is a sandstone ridge of the southern Palatinate Forest, and its western flank holds the Jungfernsprung, a 280-metre rock that is the landmark of Dahn and the Dahner Felsenland, protected as natural monument ND-7340-185. The smaller Vogelsbergtürmchen on the east side are harder to see because of the trees.
