View of the Externsteine from the North Shore of Oberer Teich
Highlight • Viewpoint
The impressive 40-meter-high rock formation is one of the most remarkable natural and cultural monuments in Central Europe. From here you have a particularly beautiful view of the rocks and, with the right light, it makes a wonderful postcard motif.
