Hiking

A varied hike through the green heart of the Lippe region awaits you on the Blueberry Route. Gnarled oaks, quiet forests, and vast heathlands alternate. In summer, the blue of the blueberries shimmers between the bushes, and the heath also reveals itself in all its glory.

On the way sent some of my hiking stones on their journey
A great trip
Definitely worth the 4 euros to climb the rocks

Because my girlfriend @Sabine and I are both on holiday this week, we treated ourselves to a day trip to the Teutoburg Forest. Neither of us had ever been to the Externsteine before and it was very impressive to climb up there😊.
We then hiked the blueberry route - a beautiful and varied tour that lives up to its name …

Very nice route.
But the two climbs from the Extern stones were quite exhausting. Not just for the kids.

PPP.
That was a disaster on Sunday. We wanted to hike around the Hermann and take a look at the jersey. When we got stuck in traffic in Detmold, we figured several other people were planning to do it!
After a half-hour struggle to find a parking space, my better half said, get out, take your stupid photo, and let's …

At the moment you read and hear a lot about the blueberry route on the Externsteinen. Today we tested them. We started at the parking lot, behind the restaurant 'Felsenwirt' turn right and then always follow the signs 'weißes B'. Sturdy shoes are an advantage. A really impressive hiking trail through the forests around the Externsteine with great views. 🌳💚👌

What wonderful weather it is today! We're going to the Teutenburg Forest and visiting the Externsteine. Jeroen and Corrie climb the steps, and Leo and I admire the whole thing from below.

The Externsteine are a striking sandstone rock formation in the Teutoburg Forest. They are a natural and cultural monument with carved-in grottos and a rock tomb. Two rocks can be climbed for a fee to enjoy the view. Today, our visit took us to the Externsteine and hiked the Blueberry Route. The Blueberry Route is a 6-kilometer-long, certified quality trail …

We briefly considered following the E1 route to the North Cape...but then we changed our minds 😅. If you're ever at a crossroads like that, you should at least think about it for a moment.

The blueberry route was OK too. A dream if you love blueberries 🥰. Lots of gnarled, quirky trees and of course the Externsteine.
