About Teutoburger Wald Urlaubsregion
Zeugnisse aus 300 Millionen Jahren Erdgeschichte finden sich im UNESCO Global Geopark TERRA.vita. Besonders eindrucksvoll sind die Dörenther Klippen, die über vier Kilometer den Top Trail Hermannshöhen säumen. Vor Urzeiten bildeten sie die Küste eines Ozeans, dessen Salz bis heute in der Tiefe erhalten ist. In Solequellen kommt es vielerorts zutage. Solequellen, Moore und Mineralwässer, reine Luft und Thermalquellen bilden heute die natürlichen Heilmittel der Bäder des Teutoburger Waldes. Zu den bekannten gehören Bad Driburg, Bad Oeynhausen und Bad Salzuflen.
Eines der herausragenden Naturdenkmale des Teutoburger Waldes liegt ganz in der Nähe von Horn-Bad Meinberg. Die sagen- und mythenumrankten Felsnadeln, die als Externsteine bezeichnet werden, waren sowohl christliche Andachtsstätte als auch heidnisches Heiligtum.
Ganz in der Nähe reckt Hermann sein Schwert bei Detmold mehr als 50 Meter hoch in den Himmel. Das riesenhafte Standbild erinnert an die Varusschlacht im Jahre 9 nach Christus. Von diesem Ort startet die Römer-Lippe-Route, die als Radweg nicht nur Geschichtsfans kurzweilig bis Xanten am Rhein führt.
Weitere markante Baudenkmäler liegen an einzelnen Rad- oder Wanderrouten: das Große Eisenbahnviadukt Altenbeken, die Sparrenburg in Bielefeld, die Burg Ravensberg bei Borgholzhausen, das Schloss Neuhaus in Paderborn oder die Ruine der frühmittelalterlichen Iburg bei Bad Driburg sowie dutzende historische Mühlen. Faszinierend sind auch die Klöster – vor allem das UNESCO Welterbe Corvey und Kloster Dalheim in Lichtenau mit seinen einzigartigen Ausstellungen.

The twelfth stage will demand a lot from you. With a length of almost 20 kilometers and around 300 meters of ascent and descent, it is challenging, but since you've already immigrated very well, you master it with your left hand. In addition, some optical delicacies ensure the perfect reward.

The tenth stage of the Hermannshöhen takes you gently up and down to fabulous views over the wide grass and forest landscape and right through the picturesque Natura 2000 area of Egge. The Lippische Velmerstot vantage point and starting point is the entrance portal to the extensive nature reserve. After

Your ninth stage begins again at the foot of Hermann, the Cheruscan. Here you descend from the Grotenburg and thus also leave the Teutoburg Forest. From the village of Berlebeck, the lowest point of the stage, the Egge Mountains join directly. You should definitely not be Europe's oldest and most species

On the eighth stage, the Teutoburg Forest shows itself again from its most beautiful side. As in the days of Arminius the Cheruscan, dense forests cover the ridge and its wide slopes. From Oerlinghausen it goes right at the beginning up to the Kammweg.
Then it goes slowly downhill through dense forest

You start your hike freshly relaxed in Dissen. First it goes uphill again and to the pretty town of Borgholzhausen - sun lounger with a view included. Then you follow the Hermannshöhen to Ravensberg Castle, the first big highlight of the day. The well-preserved small castle with its Hofschänke is located

On the fourth stage, the Teutoburg Forest lives up to its name: starting from Bad Iburg, the Hermannshöhen run through quiet forests for almost the entire route. The first section takes you through the unspoilt Freeden nature reserve.
Afterwards you hike a bit along the edge of the forest and then climb

The first mountain stage is on the second day of hiking. From the Nassen Dreieck, it goes parallel to the Dortmund-Ems Canal up to the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest. The name is deceptive here: This is not just a forest, but above all a pronounced and elongated low mountain range.
From the bank of the

Your first stage on the Hermannshöhen begins in Rheine. From here you hike a bit upstream along the Ems, which you cross at the so-called soldiers bridge. You have already left the city behind you and the Hermannshöhen meander through wide fields and small wooded areas in the direction of the Teutoburg
