Small somewhat challenging piece where the roots have developed into a kind of staircase. Very nice, but coming from above it is better to support yourself here with a stick!

"To the west of the path, the sun paints a warm autumnal landscape, if you turn your head to the left, you look into the blue-icy winter landscape; really impressive.
And out of this cold, frozen world, countless filigree, white ice structures made of old wood grow today.
Have you ever seen hair ice cream?
We've been lucky enough to observe this phenomenon once or twice so far, to see small specimens of it.
[…]
“The origin of the process leading to the formation of hair ice is a mycelium of a winter-active fungus living in the wood body, especially in the wood rays (…). […]
Thanks to the organic molecules acting as crystallization nuclei, the water freezes at just below 0° C when it escapes into the air: Ice hairs form at the exit of the wood rays.”“[…]

"Hairy ice cream here!"; everywhere today white rays shine out from the old foliage. Incredible amount of hair ice deposits.
Very rare experience and feeling of something special.
On the Kuxloher Weg we even discover a vertical ice formation that is at least 30 centimeters long.”

It's a really steep climb/downhill for a few meters. You should enjoy it with caution.
