Where the hiking trail goes around the Heinrichskopf, the landscape is very varied and partly rocky.

Stay on the main paths, even if it's a few kilometers longer. The single trails and sub-paths are largely overgrown and impassable.

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
