Hermannsweg, Long-distance hiking trail in the Teutoburg Forest, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Hermannsweg is a 156-kilometer ridge trail that starts at Rheine station and ends at the 441-meter rock group of the Lippisches Velmerstot near Leopoldstal. It follows the highest line of the Teutoburg Forest crest, marked throughout with a white H, and passes the Dörenther Klippen, the Sparrenburg in Bielefeld, the Hermannsdenkmal and the Externsteine.

The trail was established in 1902 and marks the route of an ancient battle from 9 AD where Germanic warriors defeated Roman legions. This event significantly influenced Europe's development and remains anchored in the region's memory.

The trail is named after Arminius, the Cherusci leader who defeated three Roman legions in the Varus Battle of 9 AD; the German form of his name, Hermann, gives the route its title. The Hermannsdenkmal on the Grotenburg (386 m), completed about 25 years before the trail was laid out in 1902, is the monument most walkers associate with the name.

The trail is well marked and has multiple access points near railway stations, making it easy to arrive by public transport. Regular rest areas provide opportunities to buy food and find accommodation.

The trail's endpoint is not the Lippische Velmerstot summit but a stream bed 1.4 km south of the Silberbachtal. On 3 October 2024, Lenn Mensenkamp set a fastest known time of 24 hours and 8 minutes for the full 156 km. The route has been rerouted at the Lienen-Höste quarry, where orchid-rich woodruff beech forest was cleared for expansion under permits from 1998/1999.
