Digital cycle tour to the Externsteine
Sugar beet town Lage
Lage, the Lippe town of sugar beet, kale and brick production, is nestled in the landscape of the gently rolling foothills of the Teutoburg Forest. The Bad Salzufler Rübenroute takes cyclists along the cycle path to Lage past fields of sugar beet and kale. Farmers in the region cultivate their fields with the popular vegetable and companies in Lage process it.
Without bricks, no houses can be built. Why brickworks used to be mostly necessary on site, how did the Beermann family's brickworks near the Holzhausen-Sylbach railroad station operate back then and how are bricks made with your own feet today? Visitors to the museum can find out all this and much more on the grounds of the LWL-Museum Ziegelei Lage.
The cultural city of Detmold with Germany's most important monument, the Hermannsdenkmal
The attractive cycle path network of the city of Detmold invites you to cycle along green ramparts, rest areas and to sights such as the Lippisches Landesmuseum or Detmold Castle.
The Hermann Monument is located around 4 km southwest of Detmold on the 386 m high Grotenburg. Events such as the Hermannslauf, the glowing Hermann or the Moonlight Cinema enrich the region's year-round cultural offerings.
Lavender fields near Fromhausen
Around the end of June to mid-July, the lavender fields near Fromhausen are at their most beautiful under ideal weather conditions. If you are on a cycle tour to the Externsteine during this time, you should definitely take a break at the lavender fields near Fromhausen.
Natural monuments Externsteine
Around 10 km from Detmold, the Externsteine natural monuments are located in the wooded cycling and hiking region of Horn-Bad Meinberg. They offer excellent motifs for photography and nature lovers and have become a vital natural habitat for rare animal and plant species.
Landscape Garden Bad Salzuflen
The English-style landscape garden offers beautiful resting places before and after the cycle tour, a Kneipp treading pool and a 29,000 square meter wildlife enclosure with camera sheep and fallow deer. The central focal point of the landscaped garden is the large spa lake with a water fountain. Rowing boats on the lake invite you to take an idyllic boat trip for two.
