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.

The Externsteine are some rock formations in Northern Germany (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteine). We made a stop here on our way to Hamburg. Actually it is a quite crowded place, even though the weather was mediocre at best.

The Externsteine is a distinctive sandstone rock formation located in the Teutoburg Forest, near the town of Horn-Bad Meinberg in the Lippe district of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The formation is a tor consisting of several tall, narrow columns of rock which rise abruptly from the surrounding wooded hills.
In a popular tradition going back to an idea proposed to Hermann Hamelmann in 1564, the Externsteine are identified as a sacred site of the pagan Saxons, and the location of the Irminsul idol destroyed by Charlemagne; there is however no archaeological evidence that would confirm the site's use during the relevant period. The stones were used as the site of a hermitage from the early 9th century, and by at least the high medieval period were the site of a Christian chapel. The Externsteine relief is a medieval depiction of the Descent from the Cross.

Set: Germany
The sun was out yesterday so we went on a bit of an explore and visited the quite dramatic Externsteine in the Teutoberger Wald of Ost-Westfalia. These stones have had spiritual/religious significance to the people of the region for centuries, going back to pre-Christian times, and have an interesting history - which may account for the random buskers including the Piper in the 5th image of this series. As you can see Spring hasn't quite arrived yet :-) For more on the Externsteine see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteine

Tucked away in the depths of the forests of Detmold, Germany, these massive stones rise high above the pools and trees below. Used as watch towers, sacred ritual sites, and even prisons, they have been carved with steps that allow modern visitors climb to the top and survey the German landscape. Detmold, Germany
