Geological outcrop

The Old Railway is an attempt to run a railroad line between Kassel and Paderborn through the Egge. However, water ingress and other geological features caused construction work to be halted. A new route was therefore laid, which crossed the Egge without a tunnel.

Today, two deep gorges bear witness to this disaster and have become valuable biotopes.
