At 687 metres, this striking rhyolite rock formation is the highest point in the Palatinate region.

At the western edge of the Donnersberg plateau stands the Königstuhl, a massive rock block that can be imaginatively regarded as throne-like. It is a rugged yet walkable rhyolite block and, at 687 m above sea level, is the highest point in the Palatinate.
