Facts and practical information

The Teutoburg Forest is a range of low, forested hills in the German states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. Until the 19th century, the official name of the hill ridge was Osning. It was renamed the Teutoburg Forest in the 19th century in commemoration of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, which most likely took place at Kalkriese instead. ()
