This parking lot is the ideal starting point for hikes in the Teutoburg Forest near Borgholzhausen.

It is also great as a stage destination for the Hermannsweg, as it leads directly over the parking lot.

A nice little walk. At the end we walked up to the Luisenturm (not from the car park), which was quite strenuous. But when the weather is nice you have a great, wide view.
