The Taubenkopf, like the hills of Breitenberg (545.2 m), Wetterkreuzberg (400.7 m), Hüttenberg (591.2 m) and the Kanzel (531.7 m), is one of the outlying peaks on the Kalmit massif (672.6 m). Its summit lies from the Kalmitstraße road (L515) and ca. northeast of the summit of the Kalmit itself, the highest peak in the Palatine Forest region. Before storm damage and the subsequent removal of wood, the summit dome was in the shape of a dove's head (Taubenkopf). Following the deforestation there is a 270 degree outlook from west (into the Palatine Forest) through north (Hohe Loog) to east (Klausental, Sommerberg and the Rhine Plain). Few hilltops of this height so close to the Rhine Plain have been cleared of trees.
