The Dörenther Cliffs boast impressive rock formations and mysterious myths. Bizarre sandstone cliffs of all sizes and shapes, rising enchantingly up to 40 meters, line the narrow ridge paths.

Perhaps THE natural monument of Ibbenbüren. Amazing rock formation that (according to legend) depicts a petrified woman trying to save her child from a flood on her shoulders. The rocks are easy to climb for experienced climbers with sensible shoes, but inexperienced climbers should stay below.

A great destination for families with children. From the campsite, follow the signs for "Hockendes Weib" and you'll quickly reach the cliffs. Older children can climb there.
