Europe long-distance cycle route R1 - Teuto stage 02: Schloß Holte to Horn

From the hunting lodge Holte, which today houses private apartments, we cycle through the Holter Wald and the magnificent Sennelandscape. The Furlbachtal near Augustdorf transports us into a bizarre dune landscape. After comfortably crossing the Teutoburg Forest through the so-called Dörenschlucht, we reach the vicinity of the cultural city of Detmold, at the foot of the Hermannsdenkmal. The tour takes us past other worthwhile destinations: the Vogelpark Heiligenkirchen, the LWL Open-Air Museum Detmold, and the Adlerwarte Berlebeck, which is considered Europe's oldest bird of prey sanctuary. We cycle through the Teutoburg Forest to Horn-Bad Meinberg. On the way to the stage destination, we also pass the legendary Externsteine, one of the landmarks of the Teutoburg Forest and a place of spiritual power.
