"The “Große Egge” ravine is a section of old road carved in the form of a ravine into the existing Cenomanian limestone at the wooded “Große Egge” pass in the southeastern Teutoburg Forest. It is located in the municipality of Horn-Bad Meinberg (Holzhausen-Externsteine district) in North Rhine-Westphalia and is located about 1.2 km west-southwest of the Externsteine and almost 2.3 km east of the Gauseköte. The path investigation did not produce any find that could be dated with certainty. Around 120 m northeast of the cultural monument rises the Wiembecke, which forms a pond at the Externsteine is pent up." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohlweg_Gro%C3%9Fe_Egge

The path is now quite demolished for several reasons (drought, bark beetles and MTB riders), i.e. the roots protrude excessively from the ground, the path is steep and full of "scree", the path is also overgrown with blackberries and Nettles or is partially exposed because the trees have been felled. I've been driving through it every now and then for 5 years: I don't really have to have it anymore.
