There is a shelter at the Hirtenfels. From there you have a great view of the surroundings and the Palatinate Forest. Right next to it is the Kosakenfels.

The Hirtenfels with its 630m above sea level is well integrated into a beautiful hiking tour from Dannenfels over the Adlerbogen and Ludwigsturm. From the summit of the Hirtenfels you have a wonderful view of the Palatinate.

If you hike on the Donnersberg, from the Adlerbogen, you will reach a beautifully laid out Celtic sculpture path. You pass a total of 13 stations, which are explained in detail by information boards. I recommend the route between Adlerbogen and Ludwigsturm past the ring wall, which is a good circular hike.

The Celts were the first to work on iron processing. In order to transport the pig iron, it was cast in the form of double-pointed ingots. This special shape was intended to prevent the load from slipping, e.g. on boats. The sculpture of the star is intended to represent these double-pointed bars.

Gigantic view. And I don't find the many wind turbines disturbing either. At least nicer than KKW's.
