March 19, 2025,Teuto Traum ☀️ - Teil 2

➡️ Total 31.3 km...
After the tour simply disappeared at about 10 km, a new one had to be started 🤷. But that was only a minor annoyance, as the weather was simply fantastic ☀️🤩. From the Externsteine, we went to the Hermann Monument, then to Falkenburg, and back again.

May 23, 2024,E1 Detmold - Horn

Great weather again today! After a very nice stay, we started from the DJH Detmold. We then went straight uphill to the Hermannsdenkmal. I was almost alone there so early in the morning. Then we went back to the Externsteine with lots of great views. As a Hamburger, the stones remind me a bit of Hagenbeck's zoo.
From there I …

The condition of the path between Vogeltaufe and Berlebeck was not so nice. The forestry workers did a great job there! 🙄 Part of the path was closed, but only from the …

March 7, 2026,Von den Externsteinen nach Detmold - Wandern auf den Hermannshöhen

We parked in the parking lot near the Externsteine rock formations because there's a direct bus from Detmold to get there. There were also quite a few benches along the way, so we didn't have to take our break in the middle of nowhere 👍.
