The Little Milk House

Highlight • Cafe

A nice place to rest in the middle of the forest. Cozy, but not cheap. It's still worth a break and the coffee was delicious.

The viewing terrace on top of the Mount of Olives is part of a tourist restaurant. The panoramic view in several directions is particularly recommended.

After the paths in the forest, it is very nice to now enjoy the unobstructed view of the vast Siebengebirge hills from the Ölberg.

Ölberg Mountain Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

Great location, staff not that friendly. Very well attended, although it is a long walk to get there. The view makes up for it again. Kitchen doesn't open until 12

View from the Ölberg summit

What could be nicer than enjoying the Rhine Valley from above on the Mount of Olives with a glass of wine in hand, I can recommend it to everyone :-)

A very beautiful route with magnificent views of Drachenfels Castle, Drachenburg Palace, and Bonn from the terrace of the summit restaurant. We parked (for a fee) in the large parking lot indicated.

Today I went to the Siebengebirge again. It was about six degrees in sunshine with light gusts of wind. Optimal conditions for a hike in January 🙂🥾

Today I took advantage of the break in the rain and went up to the Mount of Olives. Somehow I had a feeling I wouldn't see anyone today.
Just me, the wind, and a few curious clouds – they probably wanted to see who else was out in this weather. 😄

My son found his home and showed me his walk today. How beautiful “mountains” for someone from the Lower Rhine
Being able to look and walk.
I'll be back, not just for my son and not just for the small group.

Ultimately, the route leads over the great Mount of Olives, on which there is also a restaurant. Here, however, the incomparable view is the real highlight. So if you like to stop …
