Hermannsweg, Long-distance hiking trail in Teutoburg Forest, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The 156-kilometer Hermannsweg connects Rheine to Bad Iburg through dense forests, sandstone formations, and elevated ridges within the Teutoburg Forest natural region.
The trail, established in 1902, follows the path where Germanic tribes under Arminius defeated three Roman legions in a significant battle during 9 AD.
The Hermannsdenkmal monument stands along the trail as a representation of German national identity and commemorates the victory against Roman forces.
Trail markers guide hikers through various terrains, with multiple access points near railway stations and regular rest areas featuring food and accommodation options.
The Dörenther Klippen section presents a four-kilometer stretch of unexpected sandstone cliffs rising from the otherwise flat northern German landscape.
