The Externsteine in the Teutoburg Forest are a mythical place and an imposing natural monument

At Horn-Bad Meinberg in the eastern Teutoburg Forest, fifteen jagged rocks of chalky sandstone cliffs rise up abruptly.

For some they are a mythical place of power, for others simply a very remarkable natural monument.

The Externsteine, which are sometimes referred to as 'the Stonehenge of the Teutoburg Forest', are among the most famous natural and cultural monuments in Germany.
