Neding

The Neding is located in the Pfälzerwald bisosphere reserve in the Hauenstein holiday region. Part of the municipal boundary of the municipalities of Hauenstein, which lies directly south of the mountain, and Wilgartswiesen, which is about 1.5 km (as the crow flies) northeast of its summit, runs across the mountain and its summit. The Neding runs for about 1250 m from the eastern Queichtal to the mountain saddle to the western Mischberg (324 m).

In the summit region of the Neding, a rock band with distinct individual formations extends. The so-called Felsentor (rock gate) is particularly well known. On the west side is the free-standing Neding Rock, which is designated as a natural monument and is a maximum of 12 m high. There is a summit cross on it. From the rock plateau, there is an excellent view to the south of Hauenstein and the southern Wasgau, especially to the nearby mountains Weimersberg (376.1 m), Hoher Kopf (442.6 m), Benz (369.9 m) and Winterberg (460.8 m) with their imposing rock formations such as the Burgenhalderfelsen and Kreuzelfelsen, as well as to the source valley of the Queich and the Gillenbach valley. To the north, the Schloßberg (336.9 m) with the ruins of Falkenburg Castle and mountains of the Middle Palatinate Forest or Frankenweide - such as the Großer and Kleiner Breitenberg (455.6 and 457 m) - can be seen close by. To the west, one looks into the area of the Southwestern Palatinate Forest. A view to the east is not possible because of the Neding forest. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
