The formation is a tor consisting of several tall, narrow columns of rock which rise abruptly from the surrounding wooded hills. In a popular tradition going back to an idea proposed to Hermann Hamelmann in 1564, the Externsteine are identified as a sacred site of the pagan Saxons, and the location of the Irminsul idol reportedly destroyed by Charlemagne; there is however no archaeological evidence that would confirm the site's use during the relevant period.

==========================================

The Sauerland is a rural, hilly area spreading across most of the south-eastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, in parts heavily forested and, apart from the major valleys, sparsely inhabited.
For these reasons, it has been chosen as the first place in Germany to reintroduce the Wisent (European bison).
The Sauerland is the largest tourist region in North Rhine-Westphalia, in particular for mountain biking & cycling, water sports and scenic recreation.
The town and Skiliftkarussell of Winterberg in the Hochsauerlandkreis is a major winter sport resort.
Before 1800 the western part of the Sauerland was part of the County of the Mark based in Altena.
The eastern part adhered to the County of Arnsberg, later became known as the Duchy of Westphalia and was owned by the Archbishops and Electorate of Cologne.
The Duchy of Limburg covered a very small area in the lower Lenne river valley.
After the Napoleonic Wars the area became part of Prussia and was integrated into the new province of Westphalia.
After World War II Westphalia was merged with the new federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Today, the Sauerland belongs to the districts Märkischer Kreis, Olpe and Hochsauerland.
The western part of the Hessian district Waldeck-Frankenberg is also attributed to the Sauerland because of its geomorphological as well as sociocultural similarity and the stark contrast to the rest of the adjoining Hessian landscape.
Today the Sauerland is a popular tourist area, attracting many visitors from the Ruhr Area and relatively close Netherlands.
The forests and picturesque small towns are attractive for hikers and outdoor sports.
There are more than 30,000 km of tagged hiking trails in Sauerland region maintained by Sauerland hiking association.
Some of the towns have the title Bad (Spa) because of their good air quality and stimulating climate.
Winter sports are popular in the Sauerland.
The bob sleigh track in Winterberg is widely known in Germany, as well as the ski jumping in Willingen.
Sauerland also has a successful theme park called Fort Fun.
Balve Cave is one of the biggest prehistorical caves of Europe and is situated in Balve.
The largest accessible limestone cave outside the Alps is in Attendorn.

Oldtimer Curioseum (museum) - Germany [HD]

Thousands of weird, wacky and rare exhibits can be found on 1,500 square meters such as 50 unique and partly handmade model boats, 20 microcars, a dozen old tractors (as of 1920), vintage cars, dream cars and veteran cars, of course pieces of winter sports equipment from the old days, one original submarine boat from the Seehund fleet in World War II, a collection of motorcycles, technical curiosities, model vessels, real genuine kitsch-art-nicknacks and dozens of collections - from fancy to impossible! A little crazy -- but so much fun for the whole family.
