Is it possible to simply check beforehand where you're going to create these highlights? It's getting worse and worse with Komoot that some people are creating highlights where they're not even there.

The spot is actually called "Lampe" (like light) and is the narrowest point in the Selke Valley. The rocks are only 15 meters apart at their narrowest point. The bridge over the Selke River is accordingly called the "Lampenbrücke" (Lamp Bridge).
