Bench in Soonwald Forest

Highlight • Forest

A special section on the Soonwald ridge between Simmerkopf and Schanzerkopf. Springy forest paths between tall forest stands and dense mixed forest. Two benches as a resting place. Unfortunately, it is being eaten away by the Argenthal quarry.

Schanzerkopf Shelter and Viewpoint

Highlight • Mountain Hut

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 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 Root Path followed Root Path, superseded by Root Path.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 …

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, …

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.🌲🌳🥾🙃

Today we took a first-time Dream Looper with us on one of our favorite Dream Loops right on our doorstep.
It was a hit; she found the Dream Loop varied and beautiful, just like we did.🌳🌲
At the end, we had a little picnic by the forest lake.☀️

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.

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 …
