The Peterskopf, near the Palatine county town of Bad Dürkheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, is a 487-metre-high hill in the Haardt mountains.
A tarmac road runs to the Peterskopf from Leistadt, the distance to the car park by Forsthaus Lindemannsruhe (470 m) being 2.5 km.
In the area around the Peterskopf there is a host of historic sites: the Teufelsstein hill to the southeast with its eponymous rock formation, which was a cult site in Celtic times; and a Celtic circular rampart, the Heidenmauer and the Roman quarry of Kriemhildenstuhl on the Kästenberg, a southeastern spur of the Teufelsstein.
On the summit plateau of the Peterskopf the good 30-metre-high Bismarck tower offers a panoramic view of the Upper Rhine Plain, 400 metres below to the east, the Palatine Forest to the west and its eastern ridge, the Haardt, which runs from north to south.
[1] The Peterskopf is the finish of the annual Bade Durkheim Hill Race (Bad Dürkheimer Berglauf) in October.
