Fürstenallee, Heritage monument road in Lippe, Germany.
Fürstenallee is a tree-lined road near Teutoburg Forest that extends for roughly three kilometers. It is bordered by four rows of old oaks that create a striking natural corridor.
The avenue was built between 1725 and 1730 by the Counts of Lippe as an approach to their hunting lodge at Oesterholz. It has shaped this landscape for nearly three centuries.
The avenue takes its name from the princes of Lippe who commissioned it as a display of their authority. Walking under the old oaks today, visitors can still sense this princely intent.
The best way to explore the avenue is on foot or by bicycle along the well-maintained path. A restoration in 2018 updated the infrastructure and makes the route easily accessible.
The avenue connects the southern Teutoburg Forest with the northern Egge Mountains at the Gauseköte pass. This transition point makes it a natural hub between two major forested areas.
