Hiking
In WW II, the Ochsenkopf was heavily fought over during the Battle of Hürtgen Forest.
There are several bunkers along the way, all of which have been destroyed (blown up after the war).
South of Simonskall, there are still undestroyed bunkers from the West Wall.
Very interesting and thought-provoking.
