You've probably read the kids loads of stories about life on a farm, but have you ever taken them to a real one? They'll have a ball seeing animals up close at Vogelpark Heiligenkirchen.
This hands-on animal experience is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Detmold. But Vogelpark Heiligenkirchen isn't the area's only drawcard. Externsteine, Hermannsdenkmal, and Detmold Open-air Museum are some other worthwhile attractions close by.
