Teutoburg Forest Nature Park

The Teutoburg Forest gives Bielefeld’s townscape its unique character. Reaching to 446 metres, this range of hills was made famous by the so-called ”Battle of the Teutoburg Forest” between the Romans and German warriors in the year 9 AD.
One of the most scenic ridge walks in Germany – the Hermannsweg – runs along the top of the Teutoburg Forest straight through the centre of Bielefeld. A total of 4,800 hectares of forest and 620 km of walking trails create the highly varied framework of an attractive landscape.
