OWL Tour 2010 – Day 1: In the middle of July we wanted to go back and visit the Lippe region again, including Ostwestfalen which is on the way. Ostwestfalen-Lippe is a region in the federal state North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. The area of Ostwestfalen-Lippe is congruent with the area of the administrative region Detmold and includes major cities such as Bielefeld and Paderborn.

We left late on Thursday to avoid the Dutch traffic jams and stopped for the night at the camper park of Bad Bentheim, just a few kilometers behind the German border. While the camper park at the foot of the castle officially has room for 22 campers, also the parking ground next to it was occupied by a large amount of campers already. Since we only wanted to spend the night here, we picked a place and went to bed, trying not to make too much noise.
