I have never in my 18 years of life in Detmold felt seriously endangered by anyone. Walking at night is not a problem, not even for a young girl. There are a couple of rough areas I wouldn't recommend going but even there the people are usually nice or they keep to themselves.

Posted: March 11, 2025its a small city, I live here since 5 years and never had any bad experiences especially when walking home alone. Its nothing compared to bigger cities! Also I can show you my safe places for hanging out and spending time.
