Heidenberg (Wasgauer Felsenland)
The Heidenberg is a 420-metre-high hill in the southeastern Wasgau, the region that covers the southern part of the Palatinate Forest in Germany and the northern Vosges in France. The Heidenberg's north flank is in the parish of Busenberg, its south flank in the parish of Erlenbach bei Dahn. On its western slopes is the ''Buchkammerfels'', a striking rock formation in which, in a rock spur with vertical sides, there is what is suspected to be the site of a castle that consisted of inaccessible rock chambers (known as ''Buchkammern'' or ''Heidenkammern''). The rock chambers are first mentioned in 1635, where they are described as dungeons. This function is just as unverified as the theory that they might have been used by the inhabitants of Drachenfels Castle (Wasgau), Drachenfels Castle as an outlying observation post.

Wasgau
The Wasgau (german: Wasgau, french: Vasgovie) is a Franco-German hill range in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and the French departments of Bas-Rhin and Moselle. It is formed from the southern part of the Palatine Forest and the northern part of the Vosges mountains, and extends from the River Queich in the north over the French border to the Col de Saverne in the south. The highest hill in the entire Wasgau is the Grand Wintersberg (581 m above NHN) near Niederbronn-les-Bains in northern Alsace. Next, at 577 m is the only slightly lower Rehberg near Annweiler in the South Palatinate, which is the highest summit on German soil in the Wasgau. The Wasgau forms the southern part of the Palatine Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve. Geography Location The Wasgau runs from a line between Pirmasens and Landau in the north that, from Wilgartswiesen coincides with the course of the River Queich, to the Col de Saverne and a line between Phalsbourg to Sa ...
