Very demanding path, I personally prefer to push here. The path is littered with large stones

The way there is rocky, narrow and steep in the truest sense of the word. A real challenge with the MTB 😅 - pushing is also possible.

If you manage the path, you will see a pile of stones with a plaque commemorating 2 pilots of the Belgian Air Force who died in the air while on duty there on October 16, 1962.

At the end of the path there is a bench and shortly afterwards you are back on the actual path to the Süntelturm.

On October 16, 1962, two Republic F-84F Thunderstreak fighter jets crashed into the Hohe Egge mountain range in dense fog, killing both Belgian pilots. Thirty-nine years after the accident, a memorial was erected in Süntel to commemorate the two pilots. The memorial stands halfway up the Steinweg path between Falltal and the Süntel Tower – directly next to the crash site! It was erected by D. Hartmann of Hülsede.
