Camping on the Apenberg
A meadow at the forest edge near Detmold, part of it regularly mowed so campers find level ground. The terrain slopes gently, but everyone has found a good spot so far. In the evening the fire bowl burns, during the day a hammock hangs between the trees, already there. There's no proper toilet, just a composting toilet. A small sign points the way, no registration necessary. It's a few kilometers to the Hermannsdenkmal via Detmold. After that, it gets quiet.1
