Southwest of the Externsteine lies the "Große Egge", over which an old and important pass path leads. A system of ravines, some with cart tracks, has been exposed over 100 meters in recent years. It is likely to be the oldest engineering structure in North Rhine-Westphalia. A piece of history can be walked here!

Hiking

Even the Romans use this route as a trade route. The furrows in the stone are actually from carts.

Climbing a bit will get you around the fallen tree around it.
