Auf den Hermannshöhen: Der Hermannsweg
Bielefeld
Did you know? Its name comes from Hermann the Cheruscan, who defeated the Roman general Varus in the year 9 AD and defeated three Roman legions.
A brief overview of the route:
The approximately 163 km long Hermannsweg runs along the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest and 85 percent through the two nature parks "TERRA.vita" and "Teutoburg Forest/Eggegebirge". With its mountain ridge interrupted by numerous valleys, the trail offers a varied elevation relief with great views of the Münsterland park landscape, the Westphalian Bay or towards the Weserbergland. It begins in the Münsterland parkland in Rheine and leads to Horn-Bad Meinberg over altitudes of 100 to 441 meters. Shortly before it ends in Leopoldstal, you reach the highest point of the tour, the 441 m high rocky outcrop of the Lippische Velmerstot, from where you have a wonderful view of the surrounding area. The route leads through beautiful towns such as Tecklenburg, Bad Iburg, the metropolis of Bielefeld and Oerlinghausen. In addition, many historical sights and attractions line the route.
