With a bit of imagination, we can see a crouching woman in this rock formation.

Der Felsen „Hockendes Weib“ ist ein Felsgebilde und Teil der 4 km langen Dörenther Klippen, die sich am oberen Südwesthang des Teutoburger Waldes befinden. Der Name beruht auf einer Sage, laut der eine Frau ihre Kinder bei einer Flut auf die Schultern nahm und ihnen somit das Leben rettete. Sie selbst erstarrte beim Ausharren im Wasser zu Stein.
