The Breitenberg near Sankt Martin in the Rhineland-Palatinate county of Südliche Weinstraße is a hill, 545.2 m above sea level (NHN),[1] and subpeak of the Kalmit, the highest mountain in the Palatinate Forest.[citation needed] It is part of the Haardt mountains.
Location
The Breitenberg lies within both the Palatinate Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve and the Palatinate Forest Nature Park. Its summit rises 1.3 km northwest of Sankt Martin and 3 km west-northwest (both as the crow flies) of Maikammer, whose joint territorial boundary runs over the completely wooded hill. Like the Stotz (603.2 m), with which it is linked to the northwest over a gentle saddle (ca. 535 m), the Wetterkreuzberg (400.7 m), the Taubenkopf (603.8 m), the Hüttenberg (620.1 m) and the Kanzel (531.7 m) the Breitenberg is one of the subpeaks of the Kalmit massif (672.6 m)[2]. It is located in an exposed location on the eastern edge of the Haardt, so that it appears as a prominent hill despite its relatively low height above places in the Upper Rhine Plain.
