    Hiking

    In the forest there is a memorial cross for the soldier who died in the accident, Erik-Edgar required from Fighter-Bomber Squadron 31, known as Boelcke. In September 1962 his Starfighter ran into trouble over Mechernich, losing altitude over Rinnen and Kall and threatening to crash over Krekel. The pilot had to keep his plane in the air instead of using the ejection seat to save himself and crashed into the forest just behind Krekel. At the crash site is the cross with a bench. ksta.de/region/euskirchen-eifel/kall/starfighter-absturz-es-haette-damals-sehr-viele-tote-gabe-4152628?cb=1659296345048&
