The 6.25-hectare historical spa park is one of the oldest mineral and mud spas in Germany. The park was laid out in the late Baroque period from 1767 and features a fountain temple and the spa theater, which seats 698 people.

2. AIR CURE HOLZHAUSEN EXTERNSTEINE WITH CURE PARK
An idyllic climatic health resort with healthy and pure air, ideal for those seeking relaxation. The local spa park offers sporting activities, cultural experiences and relaxation opportunities for all generations. A bouldering wall, a floor trampoline, a balancing course and a leg trainer offer a variety of exercise options for young and old. The facility is also suitable for senior citizens and physically impaired people.

3. EXTERNAL STONES
The Externsteine are a striking sandstone rock formation and are a protected natural and cultural monument. They are made of Osning sandstone, which was formed during the Lower Cretaceous period. The rocks were placed under protection in 1926 and in 1953 became a nature reserve covering 127 hectares. The most important traces on the Grottenfels are caves, stairways, the summit plateau and the famous rock relief of the Descent from the Cross. The rock has had a staircase leading to the summit since at least 1663.

4. HISTORICAL TOWN CENTER "HORN" WITH CASTLE MUSEUM
Horn is the founding town of the noblemen of Lippe and was first mentioned in a document in 1248. The historic town center is home to Horn Castle with its castle museum, numerous half-timbered buildings and the imposing neo-Gothic town hall. The town wall is still preserved in some places and can be explored on a 1.6 km long rampart walk to discover the historic old town of Horn.

5. MOOR "STINKEBRINK"
The Bad Meinberg sulphur moor has been mined for therapeutic purposes since 1820. It has vitalizing, regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties and is used to treat various illnesses and in beauty care. The site can be visited during guided tours and the natural peat treading pool is open to the public.
