Lower Pond (Unterer Teich) at the Externsteine

Highlight • Lake

At the lower pond, you can shelter yourself from strong sunlight, linger under the trees, and take great photos from this perspective!

Externsteine

Highlight • Natural Monument

One of the highlights on the Hermannsweg through the Teutoburg Forest is definitely the imposing Externsteine. They are among the most important natural and cultural monuments in the entire Teutoburg Forest. But myths and legends also haunt the Externsteine. If you are not afraid of heights, you can also climb the five rocks and enjoy a wide panoramic view.

Forest stage at the Hermannsdenkmal

Highlight • Structure

You think you're in the middle of the forest, and you're there, with a hop, skip, in the big parking lot. From here you can see the "Hermann" very nicely. I have visited the Waldbühne several times and will do it again. Great atmosphere in the middle of the dark forest. Popcorn, drinks, fries or your own items can be consumed here.

View of Berlebeck

Highlight • Viewpoint

The small town has much to offer. In addition to the well-known Adlerwarte there are steep hills and views of the Eggekamm, as here on the Falkenburg, which is still rehabilitated (2017).
