Mosisberg

The hill lies on the territory of the hamlet of Hofstätten in the municipality of Wilgartswiesen and is part of the Frankenweide, which is a central massif within the mountain range. On the Langer Kopf there is a former US Air Force radio relay site.

The Mosisberg is the second northernmost of a line of four peaks that exceed 600 m. To the north is the Eschkopf (608.3 m), to the south are the Hortenkopf (606.2 m) and the Weißenberg (ca. 610 m^[2]) The Palatine Watershed between the Moselle/Middle Rhine (west) and Upper Rhine (east) runs over the Eschkopf, Mosisberg and Hortenkopf.

In a high hollow about 700 metres southeast of the Mosisberg summit there was once a raised bog, the Mosisbruch, which was supplied by a two kilometre long brook that which shortly afterwards emptied from the right into the upper reaches of the Wellbach.

From the Mosisberg it is possible to walk to Leimen, Kaiserslautern-Mölschbach, Elmstein and via the forest lodges of Taubensuhl and Heldenstein almost as far as Neustadt on continuous ridges without dropping below the 450 metre contour.
