With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Detmold, 16 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Externsteine, Hermannsdenkmal and Adlerwarte Berlebeck. Bad Karlshafen is another popular option. It’s 19 miles away and home to a range of intriguing things to see and do. Ruin Krukenburg, Museum Helmarshausen and Bad Karlshafen Town Hall are only the start.
