At 3:25 p.m. on April 3, 1916, eyewitnesses reported a clap of thunder and clouds of smoke. The light and noise came from a meteorite falling from space to earth, which hit a forest near Rommershausen. The location of the meteorite fall was initially unknown. Based on the reports, a circular area with a radius of about 135 km came into question. According to newspaper reports, the area around Treysa and Ziegenhain was found to be the location of the fall

The impact site of the meteorite that gave the hiking trail its name. A memorial stone commemorates the impact in 1916, and the small crater is still clearly visible today. The sixth information board is also located here.
