    In memory of the crash

    Hiking

    On Tuesday morning, October 17, 1962, shortly after eleven o'clock, two E 84 jet fighters drilled into the Hohe Egge, which at 440 meters is the highest point of the Süntel. The two pilots of the Belgian machines were shredded. They had taken part in an army exercise and were on their way back to their base in Kleinebrogel, Belgium. It is still a mystery how the accident happened, whether the two fighters collided in the air before the crash or crashed into the Süntel due to poor visibility.
