Hiking
Long forest passages, a sweeping view from the Schanzerkopf, and the idyllic Waldsee await you outside of Argenthal. The hike begins right at the natural swimming lake, where two large wooden figures welcome you. Along winding forest paths, you hike up to the Argenthal quarry, where the Geo-Adventure Trail runs. You can take a short break at the Köhlerhütte (coal burner's hut), before continuing over the Ochsenbaumer Höhe to the Schanzerkopf.
At the highest point, a wonderful view of the Hunsrück awaits you. From the 643-meter-high summit, the dream loop takes you down into the Kloppwiese nature reserve near Ellern. Along the edge of the forest, you hike back to the Waldsee (forest lake) with views of Argenthal – a dip in the clear water rounds off this beautiful hike.

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.

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 Root Path followed Root Path, superseded by Root Path.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

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 ☺️
