The wind turbines that now dominate the landscape on both sides of the 64 federal highway between the Paderborn districts of Dahl and Neuenbeken, on the territory of the town of Lichtenau and in the distance on the \"Sintfeld\" near Bad Wünnenberg are striking. The large number of wind turbines on the Paderborn plateau is no coincidence, as the wind between the Eggegebirge and Teutoburg Forest blows stronger than almost anywhere else in the German inland. The winds approaching from the west are channelled through the west-east running low mountain ranges of the Teutoburg Forest and the Haarstrang to the transverse Eggegebirge mountains, generating a high level of wind energy. There are now around 500 wind turbines in the Paderborn district (as of January 2020)." language: "en" type: "Place" image: "https://dam.destination.one/870250/82224230a1df6ac3736aca6a4f2acc54a3dae9ca59f4a11302a582038f8d35f4/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Teutoburg Forest > Discover the region > Excursion > POI" --- Share Knipsberg bei Paderborn-Dahl ============================ - Vantage point/Observation tower Schutzhütte auf dem Knipsberg mit Picknickbank, umgeben von Wiesen und Wäldern im Hintergrund.
