Steep climb in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park

Highlight • Climb

Hammer slope with 20%. Actually, you shouldn't go up the mountain in this direction, but I don't think it bothers anyone. Officially, this is a one-way street, but it has 2 normal lanes ... 😉

The Externsteine are worth a visit at any time of the year. They were my playground 40 years ago, less than 15 minutes from home. In winter we could go ice skating here and in summer we built tippis in the forest and looked for fire salamanders

View of the Externsteine from the north shore of the Upper Pond

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Externsteine are a unique sandstone formation. It is worth taking a break at this special natural spectacle. The rocks can also be climbed. Information about prices and opening hours can be found here: externsteine-info.de/tickets-und-anreise/tickets

Externsteine

Highlight • Natural Monument

One of the highlights on the Hermannsweg through the Teutoburg Forest is definitely the imposing Externsteine. They are among the most important natural and cultural monuments in the entire Teutoburg Forest. But myths and legends also haunt the Externsteine. If you are not afraid of heights, you can also climb the five rocks and enjoy a wide panoramic view.

Externsteine Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

If you cycle in the corner, you should stop here. It doesn't always have to go directly past the stones, often very crowded. Tip, just take another path, e.g. below the meadow, and enjoy the view. Somewhat away from the hustle and bustle.
