Music Academy
The palace of the Dowager Princess of Lippe in the Allee, Detmold, houses the Music Academy. The Academy's world wide reputation was confirmed during Brahms' period there and the Academy has taught many students over the years who have gone on to international careers. A number of them have returned to maintain the traditions and standards. The Academy has a large organ, an Opera School and a concert hall to hold about 600 people.

Westfalisches Freilichtmuseum The Freilichtmuseum is an open air museum opened in 1971, set in attractive parkland on the SE edge of Detmold. It depicts the traditional Westphalian ways of farming life through the ages. In the park are a number of traditional farm build- ings, painstakingly restored and historically correct to the smallest detail, showing all aspects of country life. The museum is easily visited, with an ample car park just off the Detmold-Berlebeck road.

Hermannsdenkmal Hermann, or Arminius as the Romans called him, was a German King whose enor- mous statue dominates Detmold from the Teutoburger Wald. It commemorates the victory of the German tribes over the Roman legions led by Varus in 9 AD. This victory dissuaded the Romans from any further expansion in to Germany from that date on. Hermann's statue was erected towards the end of the last century, and unveiled by Kaiser Wilhelm II. There is a fine view from the top of the plinth. The route is well signed from Detmold. A measure of Hermann's popularity can be seen by the fact that some 2 million tourists visit the statue every year.

Vogelpark – Heiligenkirchen
The Heiligenkirchen bird park contains many beautiful birds from Europe, Africa, America, Asia and Australia. The area lies between the Hermannsdenkmal and the Externsteine in Heiligenkirchen. Children can enjoy the fact that the parakeets and some other birds are free and can be enticed to play.
Adlerwarte, Berlebeck
The Adlerwarte is an ornithological station for birds of prey. The birds range from eagles through vultures to hawks of all kinds. This particular attraction occurs twice a day (normally 1100 and 1430 hrs, but check beforehand) some birds are set free to roam the skies and feed on the wing. The birds also react to signals by the falconers and quite obviously enjoy ‘dive bombing’ the tourists. Birds are also bred here. There is a car parking area at the top of the hill in Berlebeck, near the station itself.
