Wonderful view in the middle of the nature reserve around the Drachenfels. Unfortunately, the “summit cross”, which I was looking forward to as a photo motif, is no longer there. Of course, there is still plenty to see and discover around the outside! It would be interesting to watch a sunrise from here.

Hiking

The Drachenfels is a popular hiking destination that can be easily reached from the south (Lambrecht, Neidenfelds) or from the north (Saupferch). The summit area comprises a chain of rocks with an area of 13 hectares, designated as a nature reserve. A distant view to the south is possible at two points (Westfels and Südfels).
