Dörenther Klippen, Sandstone cliffs in Ibbenbüren, Germany.
The Dörenther Klippen extends for four kilometers along the Teutoburg Forest, reaching heights of 150 meters with distinct sandstone formations.
The cliffs emerged 120 million years ago when tectonic movements brought sandstone layers to the surface, transforming ancient beach sand into stone.
Local folklore tells of a mother who turned to stone at these cliffs while protecting her children from rising floods, creating the Hockendes Weib formation.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails from the parking area on B219, with routes ranging from 5 to 21 kilometers in total distance.
The protected area contains over 150 species of lichens and mosses, making it an important habitat for rare flora in North Rhine-Westphalia.
