- 'Externsteine' is a distinctive rock formation located in the Teutoburg Forest of northwestern Germany, not far from the city of Detmold.
It is a natural outcropping of five sandstone pillars, the tallest of which is 37.5m high.
They form a wall of several hundred metres in length, in a region that is otherwise largely devoid of rocks.
The geological formation consists of a hard, erosion-resistant sandstone, laid down during the early Cretaceous era about 120 million years ago, near the edge of a large shallow sea that covered large parts of Northern Europe at the time.
The pillars have been modified and decorated by humans over the centuries in a variety of fascinating and mysterious ways: holes were drilled for no apparent reason; stairs lead to dead ends; platforms serve no clear purpose.
An undeniably mysterious and magical place, Externsteine is thought to have been a pagan cultic center until Charlemagne abolished Saxon paganism in 782 AD. It was then used by Christian hermits throughout the Middle Ages.
At the top of the tallest stone is a chamber, now open. Formerly used for sacrifices, little decoration remains apart from one wall with a circular hole cut into it. Studies have shown that this is some form of calendar. On the exact day each year when summer turns to winter, the sun shines exactly onto this hole.

Same here, although I'm living not so close, just across the border in the Netherlands, but grew up in the Teutoburger Wald. I go there as often as I can. For sure it's an earth temple and very powerful place.

nice video with nice music! Would like to know what music was behind this video :-) I wish to visit it.
Looks as if two trees grew out of the top of the main pillar at an horizontal angle
A shame the natural beauty is spoiled by ridiculous handrails and stairs, inappropriate xtian carving damaging the rock, and all the rest, even the pond is artificial and in the 19th century it was even worse- they put in hotels, restaurants and a tram lie- all removed later
It isnt natural
My family are Odinists. We must visit this place.
gö! my Färnhillie häd naziehce xD
Estas estructuras no son de origen natural,son de manufactura Artificial.-
Must've been built by Germany's diverse population...
Right? They carved perfectly through the rock? Only explanation is pagans did it?
¿inka music?
