Safety information
Especially in autumn, you should also be aware that the leaves lying on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can break off. Particularly in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or precipices are secured with ropes or railings. Sure-footedness is required in places. You must expect such path impairments when hiking. If you think that certain path sections are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures caused by forest work or hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a trail closure or detour, please observe the instructions for your own safety.
Roadbook
From the information board at Hüttenbrunnen, the path leads on the hiking trail "Engelsleiter" nearly 2 km uphill to Lolosruhe. There are 190 meters of elevation gain. It is also part of the European long-distance trail E 8 (Turkey-Ireland). Furthermore, it is part of the long-distance trail Franken-Hessen-Kurpfalz (Aschaffenburg, Speyer, Burg Lichtenberg near Kusel), marked with a red cross.
At the entrance to the south parking lot of Lolosruhe are the "Five Stones." This front stone is an assembly stone of the 4th and 5th Mittelhaingeraide. Besides the boundary markers, the stone also shows many signatures of the officials in the Geraiden. In the "Rittersteine in the Palatinate Forest" codex, the "Five Stones" are listed as no. 238.
The highest point of the hike is the Schänzelturm on the Steigerkopf (614 m), comfortably reachable from Lolosruhe in 20 minutes. In front of the tower stands an old surveying stone about 1.3 m high, erected in 1839 by the Bavarian military for surveying the Palatinate.
The trail section Schänzelturm-Benderplatz is an old border path of the former Haingeraiden. It was the boundary between the 3rd and 4th Mittelhaingeraide and the forest boundary between Rhodt (3rd Mittelhaingeraide) and Gommersheim (4th Mittelhaingeraide).
The curved three-prong, the boundary marker of the 4th Geraide, and the mirrored "S", boundary marker of the 3rd Geraide, are particularly well visible on the ground rock slabs.
In addition to many boundary markers on the path, there are also two rock slabs with the insignia of the "von Schladen" and "von Borck" regiments, a legacy of the Schänzel battles in summer 1794. The Prussian defensive line was breached here, among other places, by the French Rhine Army. The consequence was 23 French years for the Palatinate. From the Congress of Vienna 1815, the Palatinate was then Bavarian until 1918.
A former Prussian redoubt is nearby. In the "Rittersteine in the Palatinate Forest" codex, the redoubt is listed as Ritterstein no. 64 - Schanze III.
Starting from Benderplatz, named after Friedrich Bender (1869-1932), founder and long-time chairman of the PWV-Edenkoben, the path leads down into the Sauermilchtal and following the young creek to the Triefenbach Spring and back to the starting point of the hike.
Haingeraiden
The Haingeraiden were forest cooperatives that emerged from the Franconian settlement in the early Middle Ages and were dissolved around 1826. They were regarded as a "sun fief", pledged only to the sun, God, and the emperor. According to legend, the Geraiden are a gift from the Franconian Merovingian King Dagobert II (circa 7th century) to his farmers on the edge of the forest, who supported him in great distress and hid him from his enemies under a hawthorn bush near Frankweiler, the Dagobert's hedge.
Between Wanzenau in Upper Alsace and Bad Dürkheim, there were 19 such forest districts.

Equipment
For our hiking routes we recommend the following standard equipment:
- Sturdy footwear
- Clothing adapted to the weather
- Sun and rain protection
- Sufficient supply of food and drinks, as there are not always places to eat or shop available or open.
- Even though the paths are continuously very well marked, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable hiking map, so that you can quickly find a safe area, for example, in case of a thunderstorm or emergency.
