Stumpfwald
The Stumpfwald is part of the northern Palatine Forest and is located in the south of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It covers an area of about 150 km², most of which is part of North Palatinate and runs from west to east on the territories of Enkenbach-Alsenborn (county of Kaiserslautern) and Ramsen (county of Donnersbergkreis). It has given its name to the ''Stumpfwaldgericht'', an old thingstead, and the heritage line of the Stumpfwald Railway.
== Geography and geology ==
The hills and woods of the Stumpfwald, bisected by valleys in all directions, have an average height of just under . The stream with the greatest volumetric flow in the Stumpfwald is the upper Eisbach and its headstream, the Bockbach.
Geologically, the Stumpfwald - like most of the Palatine uplands - is predominantly made of bunter sandstone, which was formed from wind-blown desert sand about 250 million years ago (during the Permian / Triassic transition) in what was then the Germanic Basin.Together with the neighbouring Otterberg Forest to the west (on the far side of Alsenz), the region is also called the ''Lower Palatinate Forest'' by many geoscientists. In the north it descends to the valley of the Pfrimm, which flows past Worms into the River Rhine, in the east it borders on the distinctive Leininger Sporn (516 m) and, in the south, on the Diemerstein Forest and the upper reaches of the Isenach.
The region is accessible to motor traffic on the ''Landesstraße 395'', which runs uphill from Ramsen to Enkenbach. The A 6 motorway from Mannheim to Saarbrücken runs along the southern edge of the forest, and five to ten miles to the north is the A 63 motorway from Kaiserslautern to Mainz. The Eis Valley Railway that originally ran parallel to the main road from Grünstadt to Enkenbach-Alsenborn was re-opened again after having been closed in the 1980s and nowadays is worked by tourist services.
