Heisterbach Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The Heisterbach monastery ruins are a wonderful place to linger and take a short break under old trees and close to the ruins. Historically very interesting and well explained with numerous information boards.

View of the Siebengebirge (Seven Hills)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you have a beautiful view of the Siebengebirge, as the Rhine makes a kink here. A nice atmosphere, especially in the evening.

Rheinradweg Section at Seven Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The new (unfortunately short) section of the Rhine cycle path is very well done. It is a comfortable width and is well lit. I also think the markings at the playground and the crossings are good.

View over Oberkassel and the Rhine Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between the Dornheckensee car park and Oberkassel, the path always runs close to the edge of the breakoff and there are several lookout points from which you can get an overview of the Rhine Valley.
