Drapery Ley? I did not know - and I was never there either. Like me, others may also be. Hence what Wikipedia knows about it:
The Erpeler Ley is a basalt rock on the Rhine at Erpel, a few kilometers north of the Ahr estuary. In addition to the Drachenfels, the 191 m elevation (131 m above the Rhine) is one of the best-known volcanic ruins in the Middle Rhine Valley.

The formation of the rocks is due to the cooling and solidification inside the lava flows. The columnar structure of the Erpeler Ley shows a fan-like arrangement in several places, which is due to a multi-phase penetration of lava and the resulting uneven solidification.

The rock was already used as a quarry in Roman times. Since 1941, the Erpeler Ley has also been under nature protection due to its heat-loving flora and fauna (flora: including gold aster, feather grass; fauna: zippammer, peregrine falcon). On the plateau of the mountain there are several monuments, opportunities for shot put and discus / spear throwing, an 800 m long ash track and a restaurant (Bergesruh restaurant).
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erpeler_Ley
I would like to recommend the series of outdoor specialist Kai Sackmann, called Sacki, published on YouTube. In four parts, he tells, excitingly told and very well made, how he explores Erpeler Ley.

Dark past, but that is why the Peace Museum was created there.
Very good idea.
