The Externstones (15:28) in the southern Teutobugerwald near HornBadMeinberg have always fascinated people.
We also want to visit the bizarre rocks and ride with the bike on the SenneRadweg to this special place. Because the cycle path is a circular route and leads directly past the Externstones.
Around 130 million years ago, the sea of ​​the Lower Saxon Basin bordered on the Münsterland mainland. Deposits continuously formed on the sea floor and hardened to sandstone.
Due to geological shifts in the earth's crust around 70 million years ago, enormous pressure forces gradually brought the sandstone layers upright.
This is how the mountain range of the Teutoburger Forest came into being. Spring streams washed out the mountain range and left the Externstones ​​as a unique group of rocks.
Every year more than 500,000 people still visit this magical place, especially at the Sunwend and on the Walburgis Night.

The SenneRadweg is a well signposted circular route of about 82 kilometers.
You can start and end at any point on the route. Train travelers can start from the stations of the Senne-Bahn in Hövelhof and Paderborn-Schloss Neuhaus.
Also from the train stations Detmold, Horn-Bad Meinberg and Paderborn the Senne bike path is only a few kilometers away.

We have chosen the entrance to Schloss Neuhaus and are going counter-clockwise
