General presentation
Teutoburg Forest
Forest hills, rock formations, thermal towns, ancient memory and trails around Detmold.
The discovery of Teutoburg's Foret revolves around Externsteine, Hermannsdenkmal and Detmold. The stay thus alternates between forests, mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: model relief and dispersal sites. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Bad Pyrmont
Bad Pyrmont is an ancient town of waters, recognizable by its vast thermal park, palm trees in season and its cure buildings. On a route around the Teutoburg forest, it offers a more elegant and laid atmosphere, with wooded hills, springs and easy walks.
Remarkable location
Bad Salzuflen
Bad Salzuflen is distinguished by its Gradierwerke, high wood structures where salt water runs and charges air from sprays. The ancient centre, gable houses and cure parks make it a very legible stage of German thermalism, close to the soft reliefs of the Teutoburg forest.
Remarkable location
Bad Oeynhausen
Bad Oeynhausen has a large thermal park, cure buildings and the Kaiserpalais complex, inherited from its development as a water town. The stage is suitable between Minden and the Teutoburg Forest, for a quiet urban walk between springs, gardens and resort architecture.
Place
Externsteine
Externsteine reveals himself through his rocks and the paths that approach them without abruptness. The views are ordered according to the place from which you arrive, making it an excellent place for a short but concentrated visit, with an eye on light and matter.
