Die Deutung der Externsteine als ein germanisches Heiligtum, das von Karl dem Großen zerstört worden sei, durch Hermann Hamelmann im Jahr 1564 erlebte in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts mit dem allgemein aufkommenden Interesse an Vor- und Frühgeschichte einen ersten Höhepunkt, um sich dann von den 1920er Jahren bis 1945 erneut großer Popularität zu erfreuen. Seitdem werden, vor allem in der heimatkundlichen Forschung, diese Ansätze immer wieder aufgegriffen, wobei die Interpretationen von Sternwarte bis hin zu Kultplatz reichen. In der esoterischen Literatur finden sich teils fantastische Deutungen. (Wikipedia Auszug)

After a couple of cold days in Paris with city hiking in cold temperatures on Thursday (strikes in the city) I used Saturday for a Winter tour around our mystery natural monument Externsteine (More information here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteine ). This place is magical and I especially love the spirit of the location in Winter, different to my ancestors, they held their meetings here midsummer and Walpurgis night. Horn, Lippe, Germany
Morning hiking in the hills of Lippe around the Externsteine. We had a great day in the snow and enjoyed every second and meter of our tour. Horn, Lippe, Germany

Die Felsgruppe ragt in der sonst weitgehend steinfreien Umgebung maximal 47,7 m über die Oberfläche des Wiembecketeichs in die Höhe und erstreckt sich linienförmig über mehrere Hundert Meter Länge. Sie beginnt etwas versteckt im Wald mit vereinzelten kleinen Felsen und zieht sich hin bis zu den gut sichtbaren 13 relativ freistehenden Einzelfelsen.
Die Spitzen der direkt am Teich gelegenen Felsen sind über aufwendig in den Fels geschlagene Treppenaufgänge sowie eine Brücke hoch oben im Fels erreichbar. Die Überquerung der Brücke bedarf bei einigen Menschen etwas Überwindung. Von dort oben bietet sich in nördlicher bis östlicher Richtung eine gute Aussicht, die bei geeignetem Wetter bis zum entfernten Köterberg reicht.
In the otherwise largely stone-free environment, the rock group rises a maximum of 47.7 m above the surface of the Wiembecketeich and extends linearly over several hundred meters in length. It begins a little hidden in the forest with isolated small rocks and extends to the clearly visible 13 relatively free-standing individual rocks.
The peaks of the rocks located directly on the pond can be reached via stairs that are laboriously carved into the rock and a bridge high up in the rock. Crossing the bridge takes some overcoming for some people. From up there there is a good view in north to east direction, which in suitable weather extends to the distant Köterberg.
The Externsteine belong to the Teutoburger Wald and are a natural outcropping of five sandstone pillars, the tallest of which is 37 mtr high and form a wall of several hundred metres in length, in a region that is otherwise largely devoid of rocks. The pillars have been modified and decorated by humans over the centuries. The place has been an important location for religion and spiritual activities throughout history.
We used Ascension Day for a trip to the Detmold area, unfortunately the weather was not only a challenge for the cameras.
My homeland Northwest Germany is poor in mountains and rocks, so the only exception has been a very popular and even mystic place for centuries. We took advantage of the nice Summer weather to visit the Externsteine on Sunday.

Die Externsteine – eine markante, rund 40 Meter hoch aufragende Felsformation im Tal der Wiembecke bei Horn-Bad Meinberg in Lippe – zählen zu den bekanntesten Natur- und Kulturdenkmälern Deutschlands.
