The almost 570 meter high stone head is worth a detour via a small root trail. A large pile of stones with a cross and a memorial plaque commemorates the crash of a "raisin bomber" here on July 28, 1948. Unfortunately, two American airlift pilots lost their lives.

Historical waypoint and starting point of the downhill passage with a nice view.
Status March 2024: the section is signposted and provides background information about the time and the accident

Nice place with a sad story. The trail descent has it all.
