There are two options:
1. If you decide to climb up to the monument , take the tarmac path straight up the mountain ("Hermannsweg", "E1"). At the edge of the forest there is a refuge where we turn right behind the farm. Shortly afterwards, we enter Hiddesen and come to the Cheruskerweg, which later becomes the Germanenweg. At the junction with the Hünenweg, we turn left and climb the hill to the Maiweg, where we have to turn right. Here the route continues flat until we reach the road to the Hermannsdenkmal at the end of the road. Now we have to turn left and pedal hard again to get to the monument. Once at the top, a break in the restaurant is certainly in order (accessible via the parking lot, just like the Hermann monument). Afterwards, a wonderful descent awaits on the monument road towards Vogelpark and Heiligenkirchen. At the junction of Denkmalstraße/Paderborner Str. (with traffic lights), continue right on the "Europaradweg R1" and the "BahnRadRoute" to Berlebeck.
2. If you want to avoid the climb, turn left into Unterer Weg after the Friedrich-Ebert-Straße junction and follow the further signs for "R1" and the "BahnRadRoute". In Heiligenkirchen, turn left onto Denkmalstraße and then right at the next major junction with traffic lights as described under 1).
In Berlebeck, at the junction with Fromhauser Straße, cross the pedestrian lights and continue on the R1 and the BahnRadRoute to the Externsteine. (If you would like to visit the Berlebeck Eagle Observatory, simply cycle straight ahead at this point and then turn right into Hangsteinstraße). When you reach the Externsteine, cycle through the two rocks and keep right. The cycle route signposts lead across the parking lot and then right through the forest to Horn on Schützenstraße. At the end, turn left onto Jahnstraße. We cycle along the "BahnRadRoute Weser-Lippe" through the historic town center of Horn, past Horn Castle. At the traffic circle in "Nordstraße", we leave the BahnRadRoute and turn right onto Wilberger Straße. In Wilberg we meet the B 239, the Bad Meinberg-Detmold link. We now follow the Werre cycle path to Detmold. In the town, at the state theater, we leave the "Werre-Radweg" and turn left into Ameide, where our start and finish, the Lippische Landesmuseum, is located.
