The Americans tried to descend their tanks on this steep stretch. But what failed, leaders literally glanced down. If you hike this hiking trail down to the Kalltal. Can you see how steep this hiking trail goes down into the Kalltal.

Shortly after entering the forest is the spot where Lieutenant Fleig hit a mine with his Sherman and blocked the Kall Trail. Some tanks also crashed here, as well as on the rock nose, which had to be laboriously removed by the pioneers because it narrowed the path extremely. It is located directly in front of the "Aid Station" on the right hand side.
