Hiking

The Falkenburg lies as a ruin on a strategically favorable hilltop above the Osing Pass, known as "Gauseköte". It was built from 1194. In 1453 a fire severely damaged the castle and the complex lost its importance when the moated castle in Detmold was expanded into the residence of the Lippe counts from 1528. After that the castle was used as a quarry. The ruins can only be visited on pre-booked tours.
