Geography
Location
The Queitersberg lies in the municipal forest of Kaiserslautern between the city, whose built-up area ends 500 metres to the west, and the village of Hochspeyer two kilometres southeast. About a hundred metres north of the main summit there is a somewhat lower, plateau-like subpeak with a bunter sandstone rock outcrop. The sandstone formation is a natural monument with the name ''Felsplatt'' ("Rock Slab").Streams
The Queitersberg seals the eastern side of the Kaiserslautern Basin; the drainage divide, watershed runs over it from southwest to northeast, separating the source region of the Lauter (Glan), Lauter from that of the Hochspeyerbach. The Lauter, which is also called the ''Waldlauter'', flows via the Glan (Nahe), Glan to the Nahe (Rhine), Nahe and is part of that river's drainage basin, catchment area. The water of the Hochspeyerbach flows via the Speyerbach to the Upper Rhine.Surrounding area
Queitersberg is 500 metres from the Queitersberg to the Bundesautobahn 6, A 6 motorway to the north (Saarbrücken–Mannheim). Between two of its junctions - ''16b Kaiserslautern-Ost'' and ''17 Enkenbach-Alsenborn'' - there is a car park on the southern side in the direction of Mannheim, called ''Quaidersberg''. 1500 metres from the summit to the south is the Bundesstraße 37, B 37 federal highway (Kaiserslautern–Bad Dürkheim). In a bowl between the Queitersberg and Hochspeyer lies the spring of ''Hundsbrunnen''.References
