The forest lake in Argenthal offers not only a good restaurant but also a campsite. Old dewatering structures can be seen around the lake, the function of which is no longer clear.

At Schanzerkopf there is a phenomenally comfortable bench with a great view that invites you to take a break. Definitely give it a try! ;)

A misty, muddy December morning. What more do you need.
A great tour, when there is snow, the longer, rather boring sections are also nice. The paths in the forest are great and fun ... Today had something mystical. A rather leisurely tour, not so strenuous.
The supply station at the Koehlerhütte was great.

Accompanied by @Lea, we started the Schanzerkopf dream loop from Argenthaler Waldsee. Since I'm a big fan of the Soonwald, I also really like this dream loop. However, with @Sonne or even more foliage on the trees, it is much prettier than today, but it was still a very nice tour.🌲🌳🥾🙃

A tour by Tilo made me curious and I started in the Hunsrück today.
Phew, I haven't seen that before. Root Path followed Root Path, superseded by Root Path.
A nice tour through a lot of forest, so nice and shady.

On the road with the Netwalkers led by Heinrich.
So I think I'll get to know a new dream loop, arrive at the parking lot and know: I was there in October 2022 🤣.
We were a good, brisk group today! Without rain!
And finally, before the fantastic meal at the Italian restaurant, there was a swimming session in the …

Flowy round with moderate gradients.
The highlights of the tour are manageable, but the hay bale table at the Schanzerkopf was unbeatably comfortable for a long break and a short rest ☺️

After the change of direction made the Heimat-Traumschleife an even more beautiful tour for me, I tested it here on the Schanzerkopf Traumschleife. So you start the round with the part that I find the least attractive (with a meadow, of course 😉) and then you only have forest paths at the end.☀️🌳🤩 Of course it's a matter of taste, …

Today we walked the Schanzerkopf dream loop under blue skies and sunshine (2 degrees). We started the tour at the Thiergartenstrasse junction from the L 242 at the end of Argenthal towards Dörrenbach - right on the route.
It was a wonderful tour. Alternately through mixed forest, but mostly through coniferous forest on springy forest floor. Short stretches were forest …

Unfortunately, especially due to the expansion of the quarry, the route has changed for the worse. Nice paths have been replaced by wide forest highways - a shame.
