Externsteine Rocks

The Externsteine is a row of large rock formations in the Teutoburger Wald near Detmold in the Lippe district of North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany. They are particularly noteworthy as there are few other large rocks in this part of Germany. Historically and culturally the stones have been linked to Saxon paganism, the irminsul, Charlemagne, Goethe, German nationalism, and Nazi propaganda.
