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.

We started at the parking lot at the Donoper pond and we followed the "climate experience route" over the great Ehberg, past the Krebsteich, the blue lake, the Hasselbach reservoir and to the iron source.
A very nice hiking trail right through the forest, past some lakes and streams. Pure relaxation !!!
