At the old carpenter shop
A small meadow with fruit trees, plus the old company parking lot, about four and a half kilometers from Detmold town center. Surrounded by old houses, fields beyond them, and a NABU nature reserve. You can hear the country road. It's not completely gone. Space for two motorhomes and two or three tents, no more than that. There are no sanitary facilities at all, you should know that. In the morning, windfalls drop into the grass, otherwise it stays quiet. The Greek restaurant is just under a kilometer away on foot. The Hermannsdenkmal towers above the town.1
What Hinterland writes
„The place is a small meadow with fruit trees and former company parking lot. Only 4.5 km from the center of Detmold. So in the middle of the beautiful Lipperland with its sights. Quietly situated on a country road, between old houses, fields and a NABU area.“

Sights in the area1
Hermannsdenkmal
On the ridge above Detmold the Hermann has stood since 1875, a good 50 metres tall. From the platform the view runs far across Lippe. The obvious first afternoon.
Externsteine
The sandstone pillars near Horn-Bad Meinberg rise over 30 metres, carved with old reliefs. Come early, or it gets crowded at the rocks.
LWL Open-Air Museum Detmold
Historic farmsteads from across Westphalia, spread over a wide site. A full day disappears here; sturdy shoes help on the long paths.
Olderdissen Wildlife Park
The park in Bielefeld, about 23 km away, shows native animals in woodland enclosures. A solid plan for a day with children.
