    Tips

    The Externsteine are the most important natural monument in East Westphalia and even the most outstanding in all of Germany. The striking sandstone formations rise almost 50 meters vertically from the surrounding area and can be climbed in places via ladders and stairs. They are very reminiscent of the rock formations of Saxon Switzerland. They are surrounded by a park-like setting. In the summer months, the entrance is open until 6 p.m., in winter only until 4 p.m.
