Rethlager springs

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Once again, great support. It felt like the route was quite narrow and therefore slower at times, but everyone had that problem. You can't do anything about the weather beforehand, but you can make the best of it.
I'm happy, but I would have liked to have reached the finish line quicker.

Started under not so good conditions and then under target time. 😊 Conclusion, a bit brutal but a great experience from the head.

51st Hermannslauf in great weather 🤩☀️☀️☀️
31.1 km and around 550 meters in altitude. My last Hermann was 20 years ago and I have to say that I had successfully forgotten one or the other climb 🙂🫣

Actually it's 31.1 km 😉... Exhausting and beautiful at the same time - if the weather plays along, like today. It was sunny and 11..14°C warm. On the course I was very happy that I chose the sleeveless shirt at the start just before handing in my clothes bags, otherwise it would have been really cozy.

I had to fight a cold last week, but everything was fine on race day. The weather was just right. From start group A onto the track. Unfortunately a fall at km 23. Fortunately only scraped up. Really very satisfied with the time.

First of all, many, many thanks for all the helping hands, without you it would be nothing.
With pleasant temperatures, full of sun, we went to the Hermannslauf. Great atmosphere, a fantastic number of people cheering, clapping, pushing.
You just flew through Oerlinghausen... a really good feeling.
Dust dry, took every cup, that was awesome.
The races were well divided …
