On 3 August 1944, an American bomber crashed into the forest after being attacked by German aircraft behind Biberwier. Four crew members lost their lives. Keith M. Bullock from Mils near Imst, former radar expert of the Royal Air Force, together with the mountaineer Gerd Leitner from Ehrwald, took the initiative to erect memorial plaques near eight aircraft crash sites of US planes in Tyrol. In the summer of 2000, the two erected a plaque on a large stone along the Panoramaweg from Biberwier to Ehrwald, approximately 50 meters after crossing the cable car track.
