Great view. In some places you should be careful because the rocks fall steeply.

Dreikaiserstuhl

Highlight • Natural Monument

An interesting rock formation where climbers can often be seen. Or you can simply use one of the rocks for a rest and a picnic during a hike on the Hermannsweg.

Dörenther Cliffs

The Dörenther Cliffs boast impressive rock formations and mysterious myths. Bizarre sandstone cliffs of all sizes and shapes, rising enchantingly up to 40 meters, line the narrow ridge paths.

March 4, 2024,Hermannshöhen Teutoburger Wald (Hörstel - Tecklenburg)

In dry but still quite hazy weather we went back to the Hermannshöhen today, from the hiking car park at the Million Bridge / Hörstel to the Bismarck Tower near Tecklenburg - and back again.
The paths were very well walked, only a few muddy passages... 👍

May 22, 2023,Hermannshöhen 2. Etappe Hörstel - Tecklenburg

After a nice overnight stay next to the church in Hörstel, there are shopping opportunities on the way back to Hermannsweg. At the confluence of the Mittelland Canal and the Dortmund-Ems Canal, we come across the white H on a black background again. Now the path follows the Teutorücken. It's easy going up and down all day. Unfortunately, the alpine …

May 3, 2025,Hermannshöhen - Tag 2: Von Hörstel nach Tecklenburg [Etappe 2]

The second stage of the Hermann Heights takes us from Hörstel to Tecklenburg.

It begins at the westernmost foothills of the Teutoburg Forest and is entirely dedicated to the theme of "forest bathing." Unlike yesterday, today we hike through beautiful mixed forest, with a few exceptions, such as when crossing the Mittelland Canal at the Wet Triangle. Therefore, the asphalt …

Walked one of the beautiful stretches of the Hermannsweg. The wonderful weather underlined the impression. Mostly walked forest paths. The route was appealing. The route is recommended.

May 19, 2024,Hermannshöhen 02 - Hörstel nach Tecklenburg

On the second stage of the Hermannshöhen from Hörstel to Tecklenburg you pass the beautiful village of Brochtebeck. The small town center with its beautiful mill pond is worth a detour. Another highlight of the tour are the Dörenther Klippen. The rock formation is great for climbing, for young and old.
All in all, a highly recommended tour. ⛰️🥾🏞🌞

May 26, 2026,Etappe 02: Über den Kammweg von Hörstel bis Tecklenburg – Hermannshöhen

After my departure from Hörstel, there was one last look at the Dortmund-Ems Canal before heading up the 286 steps of the Himmelstreppe into the Teutoburg Forest. On the ridge trail, which is well signposted with an H, it went along numerous viewpoints and rock formations. However, the numerous wind turbines spoiled the view of Münsterland for me.
There were …

July 4, 2026,Hermannsweg, 8. Etappe ⛰️

I slept wonderfully in the old walls in an unusually soft bed!!!

Around 10:30 PM, the visitors of the open-air stage passed by under our window - but then peace returned to the small medieval mountain town of Tecklenburg.
Germany's largest open-air music theatre with 2400 seats is performed here, and the town has the largest puppet museum in NRW. …
