The **Weilerskopf** is a hill, 470 metres high, in a wooded exclave of [Herxheim am Berg](/source/Herxheim_am_Berg) northwest of the German town of [Bad Dürkheim](/source/Bad_D%C3%BCrkheim). Its summit is the site of a [transmission tower](/source/Transmission_tower) owned by [Deutsche Telekom](/source/Deutsche_Telekom).

## Transmission tower

The Weilerskopf transmission tower is a standard telecommunications tower, or *[Typenturm](/source/Typenturm)*, built in 1969.

## Gebetsfelsen

The Gebetsfelsen is a rock formation on the Weilerskopf. It is a 7-metre-long, 4-metre-wide and only 1.4-metre-high [monolith](/source/Monolith) made of [sandstone](/source/Sandstone). Twelve steps have been cut into the sandstone, probably in Roman times. A Roman quarry is located in the vicinity of the Gebetsfelsen.[1]
