Beautiful loop in the Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg.
A wonderfully wooded loop up to the Streitmannskopf mountain. There are always beautiful views of the typical Black Forest landscape. There are occasional benches along the way, but no refreshment stops.
The start is at the car park right next to the Schützenhaus. However, it is also possible to take the train to Forbach (Forbach (Black Forest) railway station) and set off from there. The route is suitable for both hiking and mountain biking.
