    From the highest mountain in the Palatinate, you have a great panoramic view far into the Eifel, to Donnersberg and to the Saarland Schaumberg. The dominance of the summit height is evident from the fact that Erbeskopf is the highest elevation in the greater Benelux-Saarland-Rhineland Palatinate region. The circular route is easy but offers a nice short hiking experience for the whole family. Furthermore, Erbeskopf offers various leisure activities at almost all times: summer tobogganing, forest rope climbing park, interactive exhibition "welcome to the jungle of tomorrow" among others. Orientation: consistently well signposted, only inexperienced hikers will need a map and GPS. Types of paths: ascent: natural forest trails, remaining circular route: mostly wide forest roads.
