This might be our most hyped place. The most hyped podcast too! And with all the reason cause this place is GORGEOUS.
We think there should be more people visiting here, it’s surprising how you talk about it with other germans and they don’t know about it or they just don’t where is it. So we bring it here for everyone!
It is located in Horn, Nordrhein-westfallen. In the north-east of this region, really close to Lower Saxony in the Teutoburg forest. You can also reach easy from Detmold.
This huge rocks reach the 15m of height and are super old, so much that there is said that this place was sacred for the Saxons and even had in the surrounding the Irminsul (the tree of life) which was eventually destroyed by Carlo Magno.
Another interesting thing is that you are allowed to go up this rocks through a set of stairs, and in one of the top of this rocks there is a hole, which aligns with the sun on the summer solstice. It has been speculated that it can be (or could have been) of astronomical importance in the same sense as Stonehenge for example.
So now you know, German cities are gorgeous, but the country side has jewels worth visit!
