    Startpoint

    from the south: glider airfield, Stukenbrocker Weg 43, Oerlinghausen or in the opposite direction: Kumsttone Oerlinghausen, Kammweg

    Destinationpoint

    Kumsttonne Oerlinghausen, Kammweg or glider airfield Oerlinghausen, Stukenbrocker Weg 43

    The Wolkensteig connects the Oerlinghausen gliding airfield and the Kumsttonne at the top of the Tönsberg as a route hike and counterpart to the "Himmelsleiter".

    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.
