Today we drove to Königswinter. Through the beautiful nightingale valley up to the Drachenfels. Unfortunately, it was very hazy almost the whole time and there was no visibility from there, that was when we visited in 2017, we had a really great view.
Nevertheless, the tour was fun, we brought back old memories.

The ascent to the Drachenfels through the Nightingale Valley has something truly magical about it – this interplay of shadows, the sound of rushing water, and the sudden bursts of light as you climb higher.

The Nightingale Valley was at its most beautiful today. The golden, damp path led alongside the babbling brook, surrounded by dense beech forest and steep …

After homemade cake and cookies🤩 in Bonn, nothing is more appealing than a walk up the Drachenfels. Since we had our next appointment looming, we hurried down into the valley on the Drachenfelsbahn. The price for a one-way trip down the valley is a hefty 22 euros for 2 adults and 2 dogs.
The view from the Drachenfels into the …
