Actually, two paths are permanently closed here: the path into the gravel pit with a gate and the path through the sandy heaths, which is also closed due to broken branches and rotten treetops (danger to life). A diversion is signposted and the signage for the Sandglöckchenweg has been changed accordingly.
Actually, this is not a highlight, but since you cannot change the OSM map as a komoot user, this information may be relevant for planning.
