Rethlager springs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Rethlager springs, between Oerlinghausen and Detmold, offer a refreshing cooling off in summer. If you wander for example. on the Hermannsweg, you automatically pass it here. The 20 meter deep spring gorge is particularly impressive.

Dörenschlucht Nature Reserve

Highlight • Gorge

Fragrant pines, winding paths, and a hint of steppe with sandy soils. This area has a touch of the Mediterranean feel. A wonderful area in every season.
