The Hermannsweg is a 156 kilometres (97 mi) long hiking trail which follows the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest, running from Rheine to Velmerstot in Germany.

Parts of the way along the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest were already used by hunter-gatherers and traders in the Mesolithic period, as evidenced by findings of flint tools.

In the Middle Ages, the Hermannsweg connected the surrounding areas to travelling and trading routes of interregional importance such as the Westphalian Hellweg and the Frankfurter Weg.

The hiking trail was officially established in 1902, 25 years after the construction of the Hermannsdenkmal near Detmold, which commemorates the Cheruscan victory over the Romans in 9 AD.

The trail starts at a low altitude of less than 100 metres (330 ft) in Rheine, in the North-West of North Rhine-Westphalia, and runs to the South-East through Bervergern, Ibbenbüren, Tecklenburg, Bad Iburg, Hilter, Borgholzhausen, Werther, Bielefeld and Oerlinghausen before ending at an altitude of 441 metres (1,447 ft) on the mountain Velmerstot near Horn-Bad Meinberg.
