- Start: from the south: glider airfield, Stukenbrocker Weg 43, Oerlinghausen or in the opposite direction: Kumsttone Oerlinghausen, Kammweg
- Destination: Kumsttonne Oerlinghausen, Kammweg or glider airfield Oerlinghausen, Stukenbrocker Weg 43
Past the glider airfield, the trail leads through the forest grazing area (see Ox tour / lizard trail), the Hassler sand pit and the limestone quarry with a wonderful view of the steep walls with their sloping limestone layers. The quarry itself is a habitat for the eagle owl and the rare natterjack toad and is kept open by grazing goats. Passing the open-air archaeological museum, you reach the ridge path of the Tönsberg (334 m above sea level) with the Kumsttonne, the landmark of the mining town of Oerlinghausen, visible from afar. The mill from 1753 lost its wings in a storm and remained standing on the mountain in this condition. The name "Kumsttone" is derived from Kumst for sauerkraut, as Stumpf resembles a sauerkraut barrel.
