Hiking

Remains of Germany's oldest narrow-gauge railway, the Brölthal Railway and the Rhein-Sieg Railway, can be seen here. As can be seen from the table, it operated from 1863-1967.

Hiking

In 1965 filming for the Francis Durbridge TV series "Melissa" (broadcast by a street sweeper in January 1966) was carried out in Blankenberg and Hennef. In Hennef, the film was shot at the Bäumer jewelry store, which is still located across the street in Bahnhofstrasse. Some scenes, it is said, that were thought to be "in the can", had to be repeated because suddenly and unexpectedly the Bröltalbahn passed the shop, puffing and tinkling loudly, disturbing the actors considerably during the shooting.

Hiking

Only a short piece of track in front of the station has been preserved. In addition, you can still see the course of the route in part in the streetscape (partly cycle path).
