    Schanze, Schanze, Schanze – a must-see whenever you're in Schmallenberg. Located on the Rothaarsteig trail, on the ridge that forms a broad, hilly plateau here. A place reached by a road that ends there (the mountainous counterpart to Latrop). A small town, touristy yes, but pleasantly so, a hiker's and cyclist's haven. Excellent food, naturally hiker- and cyclist-friendly. The panoramic views of the Schmallenberg Sauerland region are absolutely stunning, and some accommodations offer views of the valley, whether that of Latrop or those to the south.
