Flowy and little-visited single trail from the Schmalenberger sports field to the K29.

A small lake nestled in a gentle, green landscape. Numerous water lilies bloom on the water, their white and pink blossoms rising like tiny stars from the green foliage. Every now and then, a bird flits across the water, while dragonflies dance in the warm breeze—a place where you can lose track of time and linger in the beauty of nature.

A short, relatively easy downhill from the Eschkopfturm tower into the Wellbachtal valley. A forest path crosses in the middle, which you can follow to the left to return directly to the MTB1 trail of the Pfälzerwald Mountain Bike Park.

The Ludwig Tower on the Eschkopf offers a 360° panoramic view of the Palatinate Forest. On a clear day, you can see the Donnersberg, the Odenwald, and the Vosges Mountains.
