Family-friendly hikes in the Siebengebirge

With castles, hilltop views, legendary dragons and well-developed infrastructure, the Siebengebirge has great hiking for young and old alike. The three hikes in this Collection offer you and your family the opportunity to explore the Siebengebirge near Bonn, in Germany. These Tours are suitable for all abilities, although some of the ascents require decent fitness. Since the hiking trails in the Siebengebirge are designed and laid out for everyone, you’ll regularly find benches along the way to make the climb easier.

The pure walking time of the three hikes is between 90 minutes and four hours. It should be noted that you should, of course, plan more time for the entire excursion, including breaks. This gives you enough time to enjoy the views over the Siebengebirge and to discover the sights along the way.

The starting points of all three hikes can be reached by public transport as well as by car. Current timetable information can be found here: swb-busundbahn.de/en/english. More detailed explanations can be found in the individual Tour descriptions.

There are restaurants, cafés and beer gardens along the Drachenfelsrunde and Petersbergrunde routes. So you don't necessarily need to bring your food, although homemade bread often tastes much better in nature. With its many benches and picnic tables, the scenic loop is perfect for bringing your own treats.
