Teutonia Cliffs

The steep cliff face of the Teutonia Cliffs is up to 15 meters high. The impressive rock face is beautifully situated in the Teutoburg Forest/Egge Mountains Nature Park. The area is located in the area of an abandoned iron ore mine.

In the west of Willebadessen, on the ridge of the Egge Mountains, are the Teutonia cliffs, which are heavily overgrown with lichen and mosses and are made of red sandstone, some of which have block heaps.
The site is located in the area of a former iron ore mine. At the former mining sites, there are still tunnels, pits, heaps and pits as evidence of the iron industry. The area around the cliffs, which is now close to nature and unspoilt, got its name when the Teutonia Company bought up the forest.

On the eastern slope of the Eggegebirge, near the village of Borlinghausen, lies a beech forest complex on rugged sandstone cliffs and block debris. The approximately 15 m high, steeply sloping cliff of the Teutonia cliffs offers rewarding views - both in the landscape of the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge and in the abyss on the impressive rock formations and the fallen, massive rocks. The site is located in the area of ​​a abandoned iron ore mine. At the former mining sites are still collapsed tunnels, pits, dumps and pinging as witnesses of the iron industry. Through the purchase of the forest by the Teutonia society, the now natural and unspoiled area around the cliff area was named Teutonia cliffs. Many spring outcrops - surrounded by lush cabbage vegetation such as ferns, horsetails and grasses - as well as a diverse vegetation make up a remarkable landscape.
