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.

View from the Dörenther Klippen across the Münsterland

Highlight • Viewpoint

Almost a balcony with a rock railing invites you to take a break here - easily accessible from the west and north, you should be a little careful towards the east, where it gets steep.

Dreikaiserstuhl

Highlight • Natural Monument

An interesting rock formation where climbers can often be seen. Or you can simply use one of the rocks for a rest and a picnic during a hike on the Hermannsweg.
