À vélo de Detmold à Horn

Enjoy a lovely cycle from Detmold to Horn, a route of just under 11 km through the scenic foothills of the Teutoburg Forest. Starting in Detmold—a charming town renowned for its beautiful Residenzschloss and vibrant old quarter—you’ll glide mostly along paved surfaces, with a pleasant mix of quiet country paths and tranquil roads making up the majority of your trip.

There’s a gentle ascent (about 124 meters), but nothing too strenuous, and you’ll be rewarded with some panoramic views as you near the high point around 226 meters elevation. The ride is smooth and mostly on asphalt, with occasional stretches of paving stones adding a rustic touch.

Your ride ends in Horn, the gateway to the dramatic Externsteine rock formations. Take a moment to soak in Horn’s small-town atmosphere before exploring the surrounding natural wonders. This ride is perfect for cyclists looking for a bit of history, stunning landscapes, and a peaceful journey between two picturesque Lippe towns!
