Several years ago I went with a girlfriend to a summer-solstice event at the
Externsteine
We arrived after sunset a lil uncertain what to expect, after fighting for most of the way for "crap".
When leaving the forest, the valley was lying below us. It was like a scene from Tolkiens works.
There were countless fires and torches - and from everywhere came laughter and the sound of people making music.
As we went on, we were just wowed by the the lights, sounds and the shadows the fires created on the large rocky fingers of the Externsteine.
It had s th of a fairy-tale quality.
