Römer-Lippe-Route Etappe 1: Detmold - Paderborn

Stage 1 of the Römer-Lippe-Route. Even the starting point of the first day's tour is worth lingering for a while, because in Detmold, in addition to the cosy old town and the open-air museum, you can see the admirable Hermanns monument, which was the largest statue in the world in the 18th century. The route continues over the 50 metre high Externsteine to Bad Lippspringe and the source of the River Lippe. From here, it is only a stone's throw to the stage destination of Paderborn. Highlights: - Detmold: Old town, open-air museum, Hermanns monument - Externsteine - Arminius Park in Bad Lippspringe with Lippe spring and Arminius spring - Paderborn: Pader springs, cathedral, historic old town centre
