The Kappelberg is 358 m above sea level. NHN the highest mountain in Rheinhessen. It is located in the Saar-Nahe mountains between Offenheim and Oberwiesen in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Alzey-Worms, close to the Donnersberg district. Wikipedia

We can really score with our highest elevations in Rheinhessen :-), but for me as a lowland Tyrolean it's almost a mountain. There is a summit cross and a nice place to rest.

Rock-hard climb out of Obermoschel, don't "tackle" too quickly! Conversely, if you drive well, do not heat into Obermoschel at high speed, too confusing because of the parked cars.
