This suggested stage takes you on
one of the most spectacular sections of the
Hermannshöhen in the Teutoburg Forest: from the
monumental Hermannsdenkmal past the
mystical Externsteine, through the
wildly romantic Silberbachtal valley to the rugged
twin summit of the Velmerstot. The trail is
marked throughout with the "white H on black
ground".
The next day, you have the opportunity to visit the
sublime Externsteine, the most important natural and
cultural monument in the Teutoburg Forest. The five towering
stones are surrounded by myths and legends.
Fraudless people can climb the rocks and be
rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view. The Eggeweg
also begins at the Externsteine,
which runs largely parallel to the
Hermannsweg until the end of this stage. Before
the ascent to the Lippischer Velmerstot
you pass the romantic Silberbachtal valley. The
high point is the barren Lippischer Velmerstot (441 m) with
its rugged rocky landscape. While the Eggeweg leads to the neighboring summit of the Prussian Velmerstot, you follow the Hermannsweg to Leopoldstal and your destination, the Blumengarten country house.
