Hiking

Compared to the road along the railway on the north side, the ascent to the Drachenfels is much more beautiful. Especially great at sunset, then the view is even nicer.

Hiking

A very beautiful hiking trail to Drachenfels Castle. In some places, you have to step over the roots of fallen trees. During prolonged dry periods, the surface can be a bit slippery.
