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).

June 12, 2025,E-Bike Tour Externsteine / Hermann

The tour leads through a beautiful, hilly landscape and passes two spectacular sights. Be careful, though: some of the paths are very steep and unpaved. These sections are only really suitable for e-bikes or mountain bikes. Therefore, it's definitely not for everyone.

June 13, 2022,🇩🇪🚴‍♀️ Externsteine zum Hermanns-Denkmal

The Externsteine - a striking rock formation towering around 40 meters high.
The Hermann Monument - a colossal statue 54 meters high.
Both are located in the southern Teuteburg Forest and are only 11 kilometers apart.
So well suited for a small cultural bike tour.
These important sights are very busy at the weekend, I was there on Monday 👍😄.
